Gravestone Database

The Genealogical Society of Finland's Gravestone Database (Hautakivitietokanta) contains more than one million searchable records transcribed from gravestones.

Most of the records are from Finland, but the database also includes records of people buried in the United States, Canada, and Sweden. Links to other well-known gravestone databases can be found at the end of this page.

Search Instructions

You can search the Gravestone Database using a first and last name or just one of these. The search parameters are recorded in the search form on the SukuHaku homepage after which the search is limited to the tombstone database from the drop-down menu on the right side of the form. You can limit the search to the graveyards of a certain locality by adding in a search term to the Municipality box which appears in a drop-down menu. From the search results, grave information and a shareable link can be found by clicking on the result and the Grave Information button that opens after this. You can enlarge the picture of the gravestone in the Grave Information by clicking on it.


Searching the Gravestone Database is done using the search form on SukuHaku's homepage and narrowing the search to the database via the drop-down menu.


Adding New Material

The Society continues to add Finnish gravestones and new materials to the SukuHaku Gravestone Database. Photographing new cemeteries is suggested to be done one cemetery at a time but also individual photographs can be added to the database for example when they supplement existing materials.
