The first one is called "Päsamärki-låten". Päsamärki is a part of
Viksjö surroundings, it is a finnish name coming from the finnish
settlers that founded Viksjö in the 16th century.

The second one is a wedding march from Viksjö.
Thank you SO MUCH to Lars-Ola Norén for sharing these folk
songs with me!
