The Society was founded in 1968 and has now about 400 members.The principal purpose of the Society is to create a sense of communality among people who belong to the Vesterinen family, and to research the origin and history of our family. The Society has published several books on the history of the family. The books are written in Finnish, and can be ordered under MYYNTITUOTTEET at this website.

Every third year we have a General Meeting, the latest in Hämeenlinna in the Southern Finland in June 2013. In the General Meeting of 2010 in Helsinki we had the pleasure of receiveing members of the Vesterinen family from the U.S.A and Canada as guests. Their grandparents had immigrated there over hundred years ago.
