Records typically include the name of the registrant, date of birth, residence, date of death and the name of the father.<br><br>The Rippikirjat/kommunionböcker, or Communion books were church censuses that usually covered a five year time period and recorded significant statistical events, such as births, deaths, marriages, and migration. Children who were not confirmed were not recorded in the communion books, but were rather recorded in the pre-confirmation books. Once a child was confirmed, typically around the age of 15, they would then be recorded in the communion books.<br><br>Karelia is an area in Northern Europe of historical significance for Russia (including the Soviet era), Finland, and Sweden.
