Do you live in Finland or in other country?

Åland / Ahvenanmaa so Finland But i moved here two years ago so no correlation to her.

Osaatko suomea? Jag kan prata svenska but English is better than Swedish

User15860283310104102729

My Finnish is sadly not good at all so English would do fine

Ok, It is a little difficult situation in Pargas. Digitized church records end quite early. Rippikirjat (communion books) end 1860 and birth records 1864, newer ones are not available. Probably the only way to find out the parents of Aina Söderholm is to contact directly the Väståbolands svenska församling parish and ask them (Pargas has belonged to it since 2009).

I looked the archives of the National Archives of Finland (Kansallisarkisto) don't have them ether.

Pargas church records from about 1860 are currently held in Väståbolands svensk församling.

Sorry, that page is only in Swedish

Okay! I'll try contacting them, thank you Do you have any idea If you can help finding my Grandmother parents? I'd ask my uncles but i'm pretty sure they told me all i know https://www.geni.com/people/Judith-S%C3%B6derholm/6000000122692819826?through=5657780992900073042 She might be even harder as she was born around 1900 - 1920 but atleast she was born in or around Turku which should make it easier, once again don't know her maiden name so i might just need to ask the officials... Its always hard getting started

Thats fine, Swedish is my Mothers Tongue, I just happen to prefer english

In Geni there is very little information. First thing what you should do is to find out, maybe asking your uncles, what is the first place you know where she lived and when, possibly when and where she was married. Then contact that parish and ask them what information they have on her, they should have her birthday and place.

Also her bouppteckningen, if she died in Finland, would give more information on her.
