You might want to know all about your family but lack the necessary time or knowledge of the sources, or the ability to travel. If so, you can hire me to plan, organize, implement and sort out the research for you.

Each study is individual and of high quality. It is based on a free written research plan and an agreed budget. The research will follow the Code of Practice for genealogical research. . 

The research includes available birth and/or baptismal records, marriage records and death and/or burial records. For each person, the birth and death certificates and any migration data will be recorded, so that the person can be traced at a later date. In the results of the research, the name of the person is used as it appears in the birth records and other subsequent forms of the name are recorded. If the client so wishes, the name can be normalized to Finnish.

The research carried out is always recorded in GEDGOM format with sources. The results can also be obtained as Ancestral Quest or Rootsmagic files or plain PDF or Word document. The results of the survey can also be obtained in printed form or as a family tree. You can add your own photos to the finished work.

All the research I do is based on original sources such as church records. In some parishes, church records have been partially or almost completely destroyed. In these cases, research can be done from other documentary sources, such as vital records. Church records include communion books and children’s books, as well as registers of births/baptisms, marriages, deaths/burials and emigrations.

These sources usually provide information on the life of the subjects. If you want to extend the basic research or it does not provide all the wanted answer ,  other contemporary sources, such as land records, county and bailiff accounts, immigration documents, family records, military rolls, herd books, war diaries, historical newspaper archives (from 1771), historical maps, etc can be examined.
