Hi Cath, here is another site www.genealogia@fi/hiski I cannot find the Russian sites at the moment. Maybe I've lost them as I've changed providers and computers and didn't think I'd need the Russian sites again. If I find them I'll let you know. Greetings, Sylvia Now have the Russian site: www.genealogia.ru http://www.utu.fi/erill/instmigr/index e htm http://www.utu.fi/erill/instinigr/eng/e5 geneal.htm http://messenger.msn.fi [email protected] [email protected] these last Finnish adresses are useful for looking up passengers on boats etc.etc. Good luck How are you getting on?

Hi, my grandfather also came from Finland and settled in London in 1891. Finland have some excellent websites: http://tietokannal.mil.fin http://www.genealogia/.fi/indexe.htm My website : http://xs4all.nl/~humaan/rosman/ I have also been into Russian websites. All excellent and perfect English. Will find another site for you but have to get out of this first. Sylvia

I can only suggest you contact the Embassy of the two countries for details on who to contact. Russia should have evey detail on every inhabitant they kept a close watch on everyone. It's worth trying unless anyone has any other ideas. Good Luck Pat
