Hi, I am also just finding family history and have found that my family is swede-finn. My family has been in USA for about 100 yrs. I had no information on family history(my father did not even know his grandparents names). I joined the local Runeberg order and a friend there gave me the website and e-mail of a geneoligist in Finland who was able to give me my family geneology back to the 1400's.
3yrs ago a cousin found a family record with my greatgrandparents names and birthdates and the names and birthdates of all their children. That was all he needed. here is his website.

hope this helps. Lena
P.s. if the link doesn't work message me, I will get you the correct information. and I still have his e-mail address.
