Hi Briana --

Thanks for showing an interest in our web site. I also love being a Pokrant !!

Check out Guest Book entry No. 16 -- we indeed have relatives " down under ". Notice that Scott's family spell the name slightly differently. Our ancestors also spelled the name in that way generations ago. If we were to go back far enough our name would have been " Pockrandt". Some families have retained the older spellings.

If you have searched the web you will have noticed that the surname ( with the various spellings ) can be found in various parts of Europe, most American states including Alaska and, of course , Canada.

Take care Briana --
