Church records in Finland

[Nancy Jaderen]

I have distant ancestors (1650) born in Finland.I know there are church records available for the time period but I can't understand what they stand for.Would they be arranged the same way as the Swedish records i.e. Husforslangd,Fodde and Vigde?Where would I find the translation?
   Thank you

Check the English section at the Finnish Genealogical Society where you can find lots of useful information about Finnish records.
 
As Finland was a part of Sweden in those days they had the same laws about keeping records as we have had.
