A good start place for finding your Finnish ancestors is a website called HisKi Project.
The start page I linked to above is in English, something many of us really need.
Keep in mind that the information is transcribed for this site from the original parish records by volunteers, and sometimes (but not often), there are mistakes. What they have made available online is great.
Many parishes in Finland are covered, and quite a few years have been covered. Keep in mind that more recent info is not posted (Finnish privacy laws?). The years covered vary by parish, and I seem to find many of the church records I hope to find information from have info from about 1700 to 1850. I have found a lot of good family info there!
What might they have? Births, christening dates, marriages, and deaths are the most commonly found items by me. These may also include farm names they resided on when the event occurred, causes of death, and occupation (or social status).
When filling out the search form, you don't have to fill out every section. For patronymic, sometimes unexpected forms of abbreviation may have been used. One example is Anderson, sometimes it is spelled out as expected, sometimes not. If I can't find what I want by the name I expected, I go back and search using only the first letter of the name. That sometimes helps.
You may also wish to expand your search by including more years in the date you are searching for.
For my level of certainty on any results I find here, I label my results no higher than "Almost Certain" because I am not seeing the actual original document.
