Introduction

I am very long time interested about my roots. All my known ancestors, Kraupmann (Estonianised Koitjärv) from my vater line and Rebas from my mother line, are mainly related with three historical North-Estonian counties (look about administrative history of North-Estonia: Danish Period, Swedish Period & Russian Period) – Järvamaa, Virumaa and Harjumaa. Some historical relationships are also with Harjumaa.
