- In 1888 plans were made to purge the Jews in Turku and, above all, in Vyborg. In September 1888, the guardians of Jewish families were summoned to the police station for a detailed investigation: the reasons for the Jews' residence, age, occupation, family relations, family background and former place of residence were checked and recorded. The persons questioned were then awaiting the police statement and the decision of the governor. On 15 October, the heads of the 34 families were again summoned to the police chamber to hear the decision of the governor. From Vyborg, where at that time 208 Jews (52 families) lived, the governor of the province, J.A. Gripenberg, proposed the deportation of 125 persons (34 families) within six months. On 29 March 1889 the Senate published a new Jewish decree: the decree granted certain named families the right to remain in Finland - in the places permitted for the time being: Helsinki, Turku, Hämeenlinna, Tampere, Vyborg (where 32 families were allowed to stay), Hamina, Sortavala, Suistamo or Impilahti parish, Kuopio and Vaasa.
