The ground it holds
Record regions whose registers are filed here, and for which years.
- 1686–1809 Sweden — the eastern half of the realm
- 1809–1917 Grand Duchy of Finland, under the Russian crown
- 1917–1944 Finland — THE TRAP IS KARELIA. The parishes ceded to the Soviet Union in 1940 and 1944 were evacuated, and their registers were evacuated with them — so the records of a place now in Russia are in Finland, at the National Archives, and not where the place is.
- 1944–2026 Finland
