Hi, my surname is BOEN as well. I'm pretty sure if i'm not the 7th or 8th generation of Boen in Indonesia. I was born in Jakarta, but my dad was born in Bangka Island. So, we must be relatives,... Fien, Rindany.
Be frankly, i'm not expossed to where i "originally from". But i'm sure if you'd like to know about our BOEN, you can contact my dad. I think he knows our roots pretty well...his name is Henry Boen. cellphone: +628161490393
hihi, i hope he's alright that i'm giving his name over the internet, complete with his number.
hope you can find what you're looking for.
