The height of the central tower of Tuomiokirkko is 71 meters.
The church is called also Suurkirkko or Nikolain kirkko.
You can find the height of the tower in Internet at page http://de.travel.yahoo.com/t/wc/finland/helsinki/churches/suurkirkko.ht…
You can’t view marriage records - if you mean official records which are kept by local register offices (maistraatti = http://www.maistraatti.fi/en/index.html ). They work together with The Population Register Center, which holds information on all Finnish citizens: (http://www.vaestorekisterikeskus.fi/vrk/home.nsf/pages/index_eng).
From the church (parishes) you get literary information about their members but you have to know the parish where the person is living.
To get information about an individual from these registers costs.
Some public libraries hold collections of old parish registers (mostly from the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries). You can find old marriage information on these microfilms, too.
From HelMet library you can find a lot of books, CDs and CD-ROMs on Finnish, just type in search field Finnish on http://www.helmet.fi/en-US -site. Also e.g. Adult Education Institute of Vantaa offers courses on Finnish, please look http://www.finnishcourses.fi/ , or you can find Finnish courses on the Internet, http://www.infopankki.fi/en-gb/finnish_on_the_internet/ .
Enjoy yourself learning Finnish!

There seems to be only one book in English about Esplanadi: "The Esplanade during the 19th century--Helsinki" by Henrik Lilius, 1984 (ISBN 87-85176-20-6). This work is primarily a pictorial production. It has color reproductions of original tinted project plans and black & white reproductions of original monocrome project plans. The photographs show what form the Esplanade did in fact take during the 19th century. The following address http://www.hel.fi/tourism/html/english/artikkelit/artikkelit/esplanadi… has an article about Esplanadi as well.

The appeal of the Cinderella fairy tale for the Finnish children seems to be the same as for most children in around the world. Like most classical fairy tales, the universal theme of the initial rejection of the main protagonist and her eventual victory over her adversaries captivates children all over the world.

One such association was founded in Käpylä, Helsinki in June 5th 2002 to protect the Käpylä branch of Helsinki City Library which then was threathened to be closed down along with several other small branch libraries in Helsinki.
Local movements in different parts of Helsinki soon reacted against the threat of their local libraries to be closed. In the end, none of the libraries was closed but were given diminished opening hours.
The local library association in Käpylä, Käpylän aluekirjastoyhdistys, is still active and co-operates with the library staff to arrange special events, such as literary evenings, and to develop the services of their local library.
