| I'm sure someone in Finland can give you more info. Traditionally, in
Finland, the church maintains the registers; if you can find out
whereabouts in Finland you grandparents came from, contacting the
Parish or prest's office should do the trick.
You might also try the FNO conference (HSK01::FNO) - it's mostly in
Finnish but enquiries in English are also welcome.

| Hi,
The Finnish/American newspaper - Raivaija - out of Fitchburg had an
article last week (I think it was last weeks) about trying to help
Finnish Americans find their roots. I will see if I can find it.

| 500.4 | Sorry for the spelling... | NURSE::BURACK | Not Fade Away | Tue Jan 21 1992 09:47 | 7 |
| Hi,
I knew I would spell that wrong.. sorry (I haven't been practicing my
finnish lately). I think my copy went out with the trash this morning.
If you call them, I am sure they will give you the information.

| 500.7 | another way to get the mormon geneological library | RTOEU::CLEIGH | Keine Ahnung | Wed Jan 29 1992 12:14 | 12 |
| Another way of contacting the Mormon Churches
geneological offices is to find your local "ward"
or "branch" (look in the phone book under Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints). There is often
a geneological library usually associated with each
"stake."
Chad
a "ward" or "branch" or local congregations, a "stake"
is a regional organization composed of several wards
and/or branches.

In case some of you didn't know about this newsgroup and are interested
in Norwegian genealogy, I thought I'd mention no.slekt. Most if not
all postings are in Norwegian, many deal with looking for various
relatives, farmsteads, information. Probably would provide good
contacts for genealogists in North America. Also information on
several computer-genealogy programs available in Norway.
