Turku (Åbo) records needed

Surnames: Blomberg
I am looking for information about an ancestor born in Åbo who later moved to Hälsingland. The only info I have is:

Carl Fredrik Blomberg b. May 1718 in Åbo, Finland
m. 07 Sep 1746 Karin Jonsdotter in Forsa Parish, Gävleborgs Län, Sweden
d. 22 May 1796 in Sweden

Son of Jonas Blomberg. No mother listed or other info about family. I am not sure where to search and would appreciate any help.

Kiitos!

There are no baptism lists from 1718 as far as I know. It is a year during the period Russia had invaded Finland and things were unstable.

There is a tax record compilation for years1722-1741 that you could look through http://digi.narc.fi/digi/hak_view.ka?hakid=1535 .

Hiski (http://hiski.genealogia.fi/hiski) has several burials for Blombergs in Turku for 1700's but no Jonas.

Br,
Kaisa
