Finland Birth Records Index

Finland birth records are a crucial resource for genealogists researching their family history. These records, typically found in parish registers of the Evangelical Lutheran Church, date back to the late 17th century. They usually contain the child's name, birth date, baptism date, parents' names and occupations, and godparents' information.

Digitized versions of records over 100 years old are available through various online databases. For records less than 100 years old, researchers may need to contact local parishes directly.

Finland's comprehensive church records make it possible to trace family lineages back several centuries, providing valuable insights into family structures and social history
