Tack Leif. Kanske var det en trevlig Tait som flydde sina hemska släktingar.

The early presence of Tait in Finland seems to rest on something more
than tradition. In a description of the district of Perno in Finland, the
author, A. I. Hipping, mentions a document formerly preserved among the
Perno Church documents, which ran : Extract of a document the
original of which is in Maling&rd. A nobleman from Scotland named
Teet of Perni served Birger Jarl in his war against Tavasthus and Nylands
in Finland, conquering these countries for the Crown of Sweden in 1250.
Afterwards he became an influential person there (i.e. Finland), built
Pern& Church, and called the district and the church after his own native
place of Pern in Scotland. His coat-of-arms was a red St Andrew's
cross in a white field, one-third of the field over the cross red with three
silver stars. The crest above it consisted of a stag's head with a star be-
tween the antlers. His son was Jons Teet, who was Hakan's father in
Teetorn. Ex vidimato vidi George Lagus. This Lagus was Pastor
at Perno Church in 1756, and his report cannot be doubted, though both
copy and original of the document have since disappeared. Very likely,
however, it referred to a later time. There is no record of churches in
Finland having been built at so early a date. Abo Cathedral was finished
in 1300. Hattula Church in Tavastland is first mentioned in 1324, the
present church of Perno in 1351, unless we like to accept popular
tradition which points out an old stone foundation, discovered on the pro-
perty of Tait, as the remains and site of the old church, which was
afterwards removed to its present location, since it proved too far out of
the way for the peasants of the shore.
