The society have published in binder book about thousand pages from people belonging to the
family. For that purpose we actual need more information about the Poikonen - names as we'll as family stories and photographs.
The book
will be written in Finnish but we'll translate at least a part of it in English
if needed.
Until now (January 2015) we have over 20 000 names (including Poikonens
Society) in computer diskettes but more are needed and welcomed. We have a good
reason to suppose there are about 2000 Poikonens and
their descendants in the USA and Canada, but only about 440 have been found
out. How to find the rest of them!

When the name has been changed it is marked with => changed name
If a person is the last one in the family it is marked with ¤ (that means the one has no descendants)

In the chart there are only the names of those late relatives who have
descendants.
