Emigration and immigration sources list the names of people leaving (emigrating) or coming into (immigrating) a country. For Finland, emigration information is usually found in passport records and passenger lists. The information in these records generally includes the emigrants’ names, ages, occupations, and destinations and their places of origin. | |||

*Chance visits by European ships occurred in the 17th and 18th centuries, while those ships attempted circumnavigations of the world, or sought sailing routes from the south to north Pacific Ocean. A passing trade, whaling the On-The-Line grounds, and labour ships visited the islands in large numbers during the 19th century. More than 9,000 workers were sent abroad from 1845 to 1895, most of them not returning. The passing trade gave rise to '''European, Chinese, Samoan and other residents from the 1830s''': they included '''beachcombers, castaways, traders and missionaries'''. | *Chance visits by European ships occurred in the 17th and 18th centuries, while those ships attempted circumnavigations of the world, or sought sailing routes from the south to north Pacific Ocean.
