DISBYT Finland in English

DISBYT Finland

The Database
Finland was up to 1809 a part of Sweden and Swedish is still used as the first, or only, language for a part of the Finnish population. Because of e.g these facts, and the emigration, Finland is of special interest for Swedish and Finnish genealogists.
The DISBYT Finland database contains at present 160 000 persons who lived before 1913 in Finland.
Each record can represent one or more individuals and consists of info about name, parish and year for events such as birth, marriage and death and also includes the name of the submitter.
The database is made up of information submitted by members of DIS - Computer Genealogy Society of Sweden.

DISBYT Suomi - DISBYT Finland
To increase the interest there is also a version of the database in Finnish called "DISBYT Suomi".
The databases are identical, but in "Disbyt Suomi" all parishes and explanations are written in Finnish.
It's also important to know that all names are showed in the database as they are written by the submitter. Because of this there is no translation of names between Swedish and Finnish. The Swedish names are indexed the same way as in the Swedish Disbyt.
