About 

Tracing Finnish ancestry often raises more questions than answers. Names change, records look unfamiliar, and it can be hard to understand how your ancestors fit into the society they lived in.

I help people in North America explore their Finnish roots with clarity — not only by researching records, but by placing those findings into their cultural and historical context. Understanding how Finnish society worked, how people lived, and how historical changes shaped everyday life can bring family history into clearer focus.

My name is Heli, and I would be glad to help you take the next step in exploring your Finnish roots. My work centers on Finnish genealogy, including church records, naming customs, regional history, and migration. I aim to explain what the records show, why they look the way they do, and what they can tell us about your ancestors' lives.

I believe genealogy should feel supportive and understandable. Whether you are just beginning your research or continuing work you've done for years, my goal is to help you see your family history as part of a wider story — shaped by place, culture, and time.
