Leinonen is a Finnish name. A lot of Finnish names come from the place they were born or lived. Leinonen comes from the area between Oulo and Kajaani there is a farm called Leinola. Male inhabitants used the surname Leinonen and females used Leinotar.
I hope this helps a little

If you have any connection with Minnesota or Oregon or possibly NYC, there might be something I can connect you with as to the name Leinonen. My grandfather came from Finland around 1900 with his family and he had a twin brother that died on the voyage. I am 60 now, and he was 17 or so at his leaving Finland. He died in 1950 in Northern Minnesota. That is about all I know, other than some research that I did and visiting cemeteries in N. Minnesota, and the Finnish Museum in Menagha, Minnesota.

Kimberly_Nez — 2002-10-24 22:35:26Z

As I've posted earlier my grandmother was Ida Leinonen. I've been able to dig up some more information as well. Her father was John Leinonen who came from Finland and her mother was Katri also from Finland. Together they had 8 children: Eins (or Eino) b. about 1910, Wains b. abt. 1912, William abt. 1913, Elma abt. 1916, Toivo abt. 1917, Ernest also abt. 1917 (twins?), Ida 1918, and George abt. 1921.
The problem is that I can't find any info on any of the other children nor any further info on John and Katri. Are there any possible decendants out there? Please help...

My Grandmother

Kimberly_Nez — 2002-10-14 18:32:48Z

Hi! My Grandmother was Ida Leinonen born 10.3.1918 and raised in Baraga, MI. (UP) I know she had a brother named Toivo who eventually lived in Taylor, MI.and I've been told that there were other siblings as well. I'm seeking information about her and my great grandparents (John Leinonen b. 1880's). My family is very quiet regarding family history (?) and I have very little family left to ask. Are there any decendants out there? Or anyone with any information? I'd love to hear from you.
