Guide to Perttula parish, Finland ancestry, family history, and genealogy: birth records, marriage records, death records, census records, parish registers, and military records.

History
Perttula was a chapel congregation of Tammela in the 16th century, but became part of Jokioinen parish in 1631, which lasted until 1871, when it returned to Tammela parish. In 1892 it became a part of Ypäjä parish.

Records Loss
The first church, built around 1600, is said to have burned down, the second to have decayed before approximately 1638, when the third was built. In recent sources, it has been mentioned that the History books begin in 1838 and the Rippikirjat in 1841. However, it has now turned out that there are account books from 1648-96, 1729-1817 and from 1838, wine treasury account books from 1778, register books from 1707 (gaps, e.g. 1810-33), born list 1719-40, born and died lists from 1838, those who were ordained from 1889, those who moved from 1875. Cf. Jokioinen and Karinainen. A chapel from the 16th century. Song shared with Jokioinen and Humppila. H 1719, T 1649, R 1707. The information in the literature that the Historiakirjat began in 1648 is due to the fact that the account letter Beginning year has changed. Most of the archive was probably destroyed in the fire of the Humppila rectory on 7/11 1824, because the common chaplain of the parishes lived in Humppila. O. Durchman.
