Sukutaito

Sukutaito Oy is a Finnish historical research company founded in 2010. It began as a genealogy specialist and now researches family histories, the histories of defined communities, and other historical subjects. Its genealogical work traces a person’s ancestry and descendants using documentary sources, building family lines and, where possible, documenting key events in people’s lives. Community projects can explore the past of places or groups such as a village or a household, while other research examines archival records relating to objects and broader historical themes.

The company prepares research reports tailored to clients’ needs, ranging from concise family trees to more extensive historical accounts. Its work draws on archival collections and historical records, including church books and other Finnish sources. Sukutaito’s researchers bring expertise in history, genealogy, older handwriting, and multilingual source materials. The company also provides research examples and a glossary explaining terms used in genealogy and historical research, helping clients understand the records and methods behind their findings.
