Hi,
You were asking some information of two families in Finland. I had a quick look at the registers and statistics & phone catalogs.
It appears that there are 107 persons with name Keiski in Finland and 37 abroad. Tehere are also 38 persons who had Keiski as their previous name + 11 abroad. Most of Keiskis are according to the electronic phone catalog living in Kälviä(a's with umlauts) or the cities and municipalities nearby (like Kokkola city). Kälviä has www-pages at www.kalvia.fi (in Finnish).
Wahamaki with "W" doesn't exist today. It has been modernised to Vahamaki with "V". One question is, if it was originally Wähämäki(a's with umlauts) or Wahamäki - both are possible names.
Today there are 662 Vähämäki's in Finland and 61 abroad and 283 persons who had Vähämäki as their previous name + 23 abroad. There are quite many people with this name in cities and municipalities around Lapua. Lapua's www-pages are at www.lapua.fi.
There are also 22 persons with name Vahamäki plus 8 persons who had Vahamäki as their previous name + 1 abroad. Quite many of them live in the city of Pori and in the municipalities around it.
Yours
Jari Viitanen
