 The National Archives of Finland has the emigration lists that were kept by parish ministers for statistical purposes for 1882 to 1924. These are not available at the Family History Library, but you can obtain the information from them by writing to the National Archives (see [[Finland Archives and Libraries]] for the address).

-Sometimes the best sources for information about your ancestor are found in the country to which he or she immigrated. These sources sometimes provide the town of origin and other information. To learn about these records, use handbooks, manuals, and Wiki articles for that country.
-In U.S. records, especially passenger arrival records, Finns are often listed as being Russian or Swedish because Finland for a time was part of the Russian Empire or because many emigrants were Swedish-speaking Finns.
-The following record might also be helpful:
-The Records of the Russian Consular Offices in the United States, 1862–1928. Salt Lake City: Filmed by the Genealogical Society of Utah, 1986. (On 169 FHL films beginning with film 1463389). These records contain data on subjects of the Russian Empire, including Finns.
-These records are indexed in:
-Sack, Sallyann Amdur. The Russian Consular Records Index and Catalog. New York: Garland Publishing, 1987. (FHL book 973 D22s; film 1605681).
