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.

Its always hard getting started 0 -

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.
