I am looking for the Father of Johannes Nyström, born 4.2.1892 Myrskylä, Finland died on 27.2.1935.

I am in the process of completing my Wife's Finnish family history. I have searched all records by can find no record of Johannes Nystrom birth and therefore unable to fin his Father.

I have found a few records for you to look at. If you have a membership to Finland Family History Association (FFHA) you can look at these pages:

Birth - https://www.sukuhistoria.fi/sshy/sivut/jasenille/paikat.php?bid=22383&pnum=26

Communion Book (Rippikirja) - https://www.sukuhistoria.fi/sshy/sivut/jasenille/paikat.php?bid=22172&pnum=451

Pre-confirmation book (Lastenkirja) - https://www.sukuhistoria.fi/sshy/sivut/jasenille/paikat.php?bid=22380&pnum=204

I will attach screenshots for you to look at if you do not have a membership.

The birth record does not give the father's name-Johannes is an illegitimate birth. His mother is Maria Mathilda Gustafsdotter who, according to the Communion Book, was born 11 September 1862 in Heinola.

The pre-confirmation book lists another illegitimate child born to Maria Mathilda Gustafsdotter, a son by the name of Otto William, born 8 January 1885. That birth record is here: https://www.sukuhistoria.fi/sshy/sivut/jasenille/paikat.php?bid=22382&pnum=66 .

Unfortunately, there is no father mentioned in either of the births.
