I am in need of locating communion book entry for my grandfather born aprox 1725 Urla Paltamo. Date of birth, names of parents. The problem I'm having is where to begin to locate him in the communion books as I can not find 1725 records for Paltamo. I just missed the cutoff date by 2 years. I do not know his Mother and Father's names but I would venture to say that they were born aprox 1700 give or take a few years. If I could find Johan's (or Juho) birthdate then it would show his parents information. Also If I could find his siblings that also would show his parents to verify I have the right person. There are a number of Jokelainens that display in Hiski Christening from the same village but I don't know which ones are the parents of Johan. If this helps at all, I found his Hiski death record as 01 Apr 1795 in Ristijarvi 29, Paltamo. His wife Lisbeta Mäkäräinen was born 1728 in Ristijarvi and died 1776 in Uura.
I have the children of Johan and Lisbeta all born in Uuralla: Anna 1750; Elin 1752; Elisabeth 1755; Johan 1758; Caspar 1762; Mathias 1769.
Hope this helps and I appreciate any information you can find.
Thank You
Janice

Thank you so much for your prompt reply. This helped me in adding another lineage to my family ancestry.
Your help is much appreciated. Thank You

Johan Johansson's father was Johan Nilsson Jokelainen (about 1666 - 26.2.1755 Paltamo, Urala, 89 years) and mother Anna Heikitär . Heikitär is a surname used for daughters, so the family name is Heikkinen. In later com. books this Urala site is called Heikkilä, which means that Johan Nilsson became the lord as a son-in-law to Anna's father.

Thank you, Aarne, for your reply. I find it most informative and will add it to his record.
Thanks again.
