occupation of great grandpa

[sbogseth]

Hi

My great grandpa, Niklas Seppanen, was from Jyvaskyla. Here is the church record from 1890-99. https://www.sukuhistoria.fi/sshy/sivut_ ... 8&pnum=108

How would I find out where he worked? Did he work on a farm or own a farm? Any suggestions on how to find this information would be appreciated.

Thank you.

In this Communion Book Niklas Seppänen is registerred as number 39 under the letter 'S'.
Above his name is mentionned Leski, siv. 8. 9. 8. 14.
He was a widower, and I guess that he was a labourer or workman on different farms and the sawmill. He did not own any land, probably not even a house.

At the pages, sivut ..., he is referred to as "Seppänen 39":
