Census

Viesti Kirjoittaja Katie » 12.06.2011 07:46

I have tried to access Census information through Digital Archives but there is so much information there that I can not locate the Census. Can you help me find (if possible) accessing Finland Census for years 1600 - 1800. I am interested in the Kuhmo, Oulu region. Hiski project only takes me back to early 1800's for that area. I like Hiski project because you have a number of ways to search and do not have to look at hand written information for the early days unless you need to through FFHA.

Any instruction you can give me to reference people would be greatly appreciated.

Here is an example of what I can not find through Hiski and FFHA
Bertil Pulkkinen
Born 1683 Lentua, Kuhmo, Oulu, Finland
Died 1756 Lentua, Kuhmo, Oulu, Finland
He had a daughter Elin Bertilsdr Pulkkinen Born 1720 Lentua, 2, Kuhmo, Oulu, Finland
I have no specific dates.
Can you give me some instructions, web addresses on how to find this person in the Census.
Thank You
Janice

Kuhmo has church books starting 1753, before that it was a part of Sotkamo so any records would be with the Sotkamo records prior to that. The years 1753-1771 are very hard to research, since there was a fire in 1807 and the Kuhmo communion books were lost. The cencus records (henkikirjat) for 1635-1808 are part of "Läänintilit", provincial records. Lentua village is found in the Pohjanmaa Province.

Here is a 1724 census with Bertil:

And Bertil with his brother Johan Mattsson in 1709:

Went back as far as 1702 to find him with his parents (and brother Johan). Here's Matts Pulkkinen with wife Susanna and their children:

Hello, Jani
Thank you for searching my request. Darn those fires, they make it hard to connect the generations.
I found what you sent me very helpful and appreciate the time and effort you take to help me out.
Hope you and your wife are enjoying the new baby during it's first summer. Life is good and fun.
Enjoy the week.
Jan

Hello, Jani
Thought you were rid of me didn't you. I am on the last step for the Kähkönen family. I have some names that I would hope would link up with my family. I tried to check the census records but I can not read the names. Here is my situation and since they are prior to 1753 they may be in Sotkamo records.
I list the names oldest to newest. Not worried about wives. I show the family in Lentua, Kuhmo area.
Are you up to the challenge???? Or is it impossible to find.
Hemming Kähkönen Born 1559
|
Son Mädz Kähkönen Born abt 1580
|
Madz Children:
Pehr Born abt 1605 Died 1697 Pehr would have been 42 when Pahl (below) was born
Måns Born abt 1607 Died unknown Mans would have been 40 when Pahl was born
Eskil Born about 1611-1612 Died unknown Eskil would have been 36 when Pahl was born
Hemming Born about 1614 Died 1695 Hemming would have been 33 when Pahl was born
|
Then we have Pahl Kähkönen Born 1647 Died 1678 (Listed in our family tree)
Son: Christer Pahlsson Kähkönen Born abt 1679 (his father may have died before he was born)

I look forward to your response - or maybe I don't....
I also have a posting in Ancestry.com but I doubt I will get anything as the people that post are more interested in American born Finnish ancestors.
Thank You
Janice

Hello, Jani
Regarding the previous post about linking a family to ours. You can disregard, I think I have it resolved. I hope I did not inconvenience you.
Thank You

Hi Janice,

I didn't get a chance to look into it yet since we've spent the last few weeks moving, but I'm glad you got it sorted out!
