The Emigrant Register was established in 1989 as a service for
genealogists and the descendants of Finnish emigrants.The
foundation of the Register was a part of the Delaware 350
Anniversary, to commemorate the beginning of Finnish Emigration
to North America. Sources include passport records (from the
year 1890 up to 1920), passenger records of the Finnish
Steamship Company (from the year 1892 up to 1950) and
information on Finns deceased abroad (from 1918 up to 1950). The
Register receives a large number of enquiries from abroad as
well as from Finland.
