01 10 0100010 01010100 Net Famil History from Finland, mostly through the port of Hanko. Most of these are Finnish emigrants, but the database also contains information on Russian passengers who went through Finland. The passenger lists covers the following periods: 1892- 1896, 1899-1914, 1920-1939, and 1949-1960 (original sources of information cover only rather small part of all the emigrants after 1949).” Passport records (197,000 records)—Index “The passport records are based on the lists kept by the provinces and magistrates from the beginning of the 1800s to 1920. At the beginning of 2005 the following areas and time periods were available in the database: • Hanko / Hangö town magistrate, 1900-1903 • Häme province, 1903-1904 • Kristiinankaupunki / Kristinestad town magistrate, 1890-1891 and 1900-1901 • Kokkola / Gamla Karleby town magistrate, 1899-1902 • Kuopio province, to Russia: 1890-1899, and to overseas countries (incl. America): 1900-1915 • Mikkeli province, 1914-1915 • Oulu province, 1897-1922 • Turku and Pori province, 1899-1905 • Vaasa province, 1896-1904 • Viipuri province, to America: 1906-1909 More than 100,000 records are still to be entered in the database.” There are also other records: • References to books and newspapers • Register of Australian Finns • Register of New Zealand Finns • Finnish Russians 1930-1950 • Other online databases • Records from the Archives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs • Other databases of the emigrant register There is a limited free search at http://www.migrationinstitute.fi/emregfree/nimihaku e.php.

A. Bjorkenheim This is a joint database of digitized national material of libraries, archives, and museums. You can search by keywords or select items from an extensive “Title list” that included portraits, photographs, and a variety of items. National Library of Finland Digital Collections http://digi.lib.helsinki.fi/index.html—Free site “Vast numbers of newspapers, periodicals, small printed items, and books contained in the rich collections of the National Library of Finland have now been digitized to form a fascinating material that throws light on the past and present as parts of our national identity. The opportunity to browse through and search this material is now within the reach of scholars, students and all users of the Web.” Newspapers—Images The National Library digitizes all newspapers published in Finland 1771-1890. The Newspaper Library will contain 165 titles and approximately 900,000 pages. The Search page is at: http://digi.lib.helsinki.fi/ sanomalehti/secure/query.html. There are links to several newspapers from 150 years ago today. Ephemera—Some Images The Ephemera Collection contains approximately three million printings. The materials, publications associated with the activities of various communities 96 © Ev e r t o n’s Ge n e a l o g i c a l He l p e r Ja n ua ry/Fe b r u a r y 2009

Printed products related to communications, such as programs, exhibition catalogues, brochures, time schedules and calendars, have been placed in the Ephemera Collection.“ One of the major collections is the images of the Industrial price lists 1810-1944. Ancestry.com http://www.ancestry.com/search/locality/dbpage. aspxi=d&tp=1652381&p=5086 Finland Country Study http://www.ancestry.com/search/db.aspxdbid=3356 “Provo, UT, USA: The Generations Network, Inc., 1998. Original data: Solsten, Eric, ed.. Finland, A Country Study. Washington, D.C.: Library of Congress, 1988. Lying largely within the Arctic Circle, the hardy people of Finland share much in common with both their Scandinavian and Russian neighbors. This country study unfolds to the researcher these and other facts about this frigid land. Prepared by the Library of Congress and completed in 1988, this database provides the researcher information on Finnish culture, economics, politics, and history. Regardless of research experience, this database is designed to illuminate significant aspects of the nation. Although not a searchable list of names which patrons of Ancestry.com have come to expect, this study is for those attempting to understand the larger context in which their ancestors lived.” As they stated above (my italics) research is more than just looking for information by a name. Learning about the history of an area, the political events, and stories about other people living in the same time and place gives one a better understanding of their ancestor’s lives. These are often the tools that can help get past brick walls.

Digital Archive of Norway http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/index-eng.htm “Digitalarkivet (Digital Archives) is the Norwegian National Archives’ channel for publication of digitized archive material in the form of images, transcribed texts, and databases. The publication includes archive material both from electronic sources and traditional paper sources, that are either digitized from an original or a microfilm. The digitized material is processed in the National Archives (Riksarkivet), the regional state archives (statsarkivene) or in our digitizing units. Some of the material is also produced through external cooperation. The Regional State Archives of Bergen is responsible for the daily management of Digitalarkivet, as well as being chief editor of the internet site.” Their “How to” page is at http://digitalarkivet. uib.no/sab/howto.html. The language is Norwegian, but there are some pages with English versions. Many of the search result pages do not have English versions and any text in the returned data fields and images is in Norwegian.
