The Maukonen Family Society in Finland has done a wonderful job of researching and publishing the family geneology there. They have provided the “jumping off point” whereby North American Maukonens can connect and keep current their family records.
Recently, I purchased Family Tree Maker 2010 and was able to upload my older GED file into this new program. I will be contacting those of Maukonen heritage here in Canada to verify and update my records. As well, I will take advantage of some of the features of Ancestry.ca to gather other documents related to our family.
I encourage others to provide names and key dates (births, marriages, deaths) related to our Maukonen heritage that will help me to compile a more complete record. I will make this information available to family members when the records become current.
