Kiiskisten Sukuseura

Kiiskisten Sukuseura ry is a Finnish family association founded in 2018 to explore the history and family lineages of the Kiiskinen family, which originated in Juva. The association works to preserve family traditions, strengthen connections among relatives, raise awareness of genealogy and family-society activities, and support local heritage work.

Its website provides information about the association, its history, governance, family crest and logo, genealogy research, events, and membership. Members can attend annual meetings, receive several member newsletters each year, access meeting minutes on members’ pages, and receive discounts on products and paid events. Annual membership costs €30 for adults; minors pay no fee, and lifetime membership is available for a one-time payment of €500.

The association’s first family book, Kiiskilänniemeltä vaaroille ja selkosille, is an 883-page account tracing the family from the Bronze Age to the Treaty of Hamina. The book is sold out. The association is collecting family information and personal stories for a second volume, intended to continue the family history from the 19th century to the present.
