Wasn't able to find much information regarding ancestors and getting a citizenship; may be a long stretch but I gotta ask!!
I have been able to trace my ancestors back to the 1800's and some are Swedish; however, upon taking a DNA test, I found out that a small percentage is Finnish. That being said; I believe the DNA test website is showing me a current map of the Nordic region rather than an old map. I know Finland wasn't a country in the 1800's and that it was split between Sweden and Russia; so it is possible my ancestors were living in what is now Finland.
So my question is; how far back would does Finland go in terms of having family members who used to live in the region? Is it just parents or grandparents or can it be much further back?

Re: Question About Ancestors & Citizenship
Thank you Upphew; I've looked there and all throughout the site but I don't see anything that relates to ancestors, just grandparents. I would assume they wouldn't date that far back but just thought I'd ask.

No harm in asking. If you want to check what the law says see the officially done unofficial translation of the relevant law: https://www.finlex.fi/en/laki/kaannokse ... 070974.pdfspeterson177 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 04, 2018 8:18 pmThank you Upphew; I've looked there and all throughout the site but I don't see anything that relates to ancestors, just grandparents.

Parents and grandparents only. Not any further back.
