 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.
-In addition to determining where an emigrant came from, emigration and immigration records can help you construct family groups. If you do not find your ancestor, you may find emigration information about your ancestor’s neighbors. People who lived near each other in Finland often settled together in their new country.
-Records were created when individuals emigrated from or immigrated to Finland. Other records document an ancestor’s arrival in the destination country. This section discusses:
-*Finding the emigrant’s town of origin.
-*Emigration from Finland.
-*Immigration to Finland.
-*Finnish passport lists.
-*Passenger lists (departures).
-*The Institute of Migration.
-*Records of Finnish emigrants in their destination countries.
-=== Finding the Emigrant’s Town of Origin  ===
-Once you have traced your family back to an emigrant ancestor, you must determine the city or town where he or she was from. Finland has no nationwide index prior to 1970. Birth, marriage, and death records were kept locally and chronologically.
-Several sources may give your ancestor’s place of origin. You may be able to learn the town your ancestor came from by talking to older family members. Members of your family or a library may have documents that name the city or town such as:
-*Birth, marriage, and death certificates.
-*Obituaries.
-*Journals.
-*Photographs.
-*Letters.
-*Family Bibles.
-*Church certificates or records.
-*Naturalization applications and petitions.
-*Passenger lists.
-*Passports.
-*Family heirlooms.
-=== Emigration from Finland  ===
-Through the years, many Finns have immigrated to many places—mostly Sweden, Norway, North America, Russia, and Australia.
