Both families came from what is now Viljandi County. The Leokes, whose forebears were landless peasants on the Vana-Võidu manor estate, became a town family who ran Viljandi’s first Estonian bookshop. The Koiks were a rural working family with roots in the Kariste estates of Halliste parish. Parish records trace their movements through Paistu and Halliste to Karksi manor.
