Research has been done in the Communion books of Pieksämäki, Haukivuori, Suonenjoki, Joroinen, and Rantasalmi. To view the books examined for the 2012 dvd, click here.
The books of Kangasniemi, Juva, and Rautalampi have also been examined, but not thoroughly.
This site was last updated on 15Jan2012. For questions, contact jordandm@mindspring.com.
Syntyneet and vihityt files (and HisKi data) have been studied thoroughly to record vital records.
Over 146,000 persons are named from these parishes on the 2012 dvd. They are listed here, sorted in alphabetical (Finnish/Swedish) order, and sorted by birth date. NOTICE! These are large files (approx. 15 MB) and will take a minute or more to load.
In addition to lists, the DVD contains HTML files that allow navigation through the generations of family trees. Any notes found in the communion books about each person have been recorded for EVERY time that the person was found in the books. The HTML files display these notes. There are notes for 83,895 persons on the 2012 Savon Asukkaat DVD. Very recent additions of persons from Juva are on the dvd and not in the lists.
These HTML files are equivalent to a sukukirja (plus details) for every family in these parishes in the years covered by the research.
Maps and other lists to assist genealogical research (sukututkimus) in Savo are included on the dvds.
It is now possible to purchase smaller parts of the HTML database for lower prices. For example, a Rantasalmen Asukkaat DVD will have information about persons who were born, married or died in Rantasalmi, found in Rantasalmi, married to persons from Rantasalmi or were known to be related to persons from Rantasalmi. Likewise for Joroinen. Persons from Suonenjoki or Haukivuori are included in the Pieksämäki dvd.
The Savon Asukkaat DVD includes everyone whom I have found in the books, including those from Kangasniemi, Rautalampi, Juva, etc.
