Finnish was not an official language in Finland until 1863, and most records were written in Swedish. To do research in these records, you will need to know some Swedish and Finnish key words and phrases (such as born, died, mother, father, etc.), but you do not have to be fluent in the language. | Finnish was not an official language in Finland until 1863, and most records were written in Swedish.
