There seems to be conflicting views on just what the French Family Association is. All I know is what I have read here on this list. Most of the evidence seems to strongly suggest that this is a one person operation being run by Mara French and she apparently claims ownership of these charts. Unfortunately due to personal problems she can no longer handle these duties and the FFA has been inactive for at least a year or more. On the other hand there is some mention of it being a "not for profit" with several other officers or founding members. If so why hasn't someone else stepped up to help out ? Regardless of how it was organized, I think that all will agree that in its present form the FFA just isn't working. I'll leave others to figure out whether the FFA needs to be reorganized or a new association formed to replace it. I would be happy to pay a reasonable membership fee to support an active society. Fortunately this list includes many who are willing to freely share their French Family information. Hopefully someone will be able to tell me where my g.g.g.g.grand mother Eva Sophia French fits in. She was born 10 Aug 1843 in Huntingdon Co., PA and died March 6, 1912 in Mifflin Co. Pa. She was married to Henry J. Kauffman from 1859 to 1865, Joseph Rothrock Hanawalt from 1866 to 1877 and Leonard S. Wolfkill from 1878 to 1897. For sure the last 2 husbands were Dunkards and Eva Sophia is buried with Leonard Wolfkill at Maitland COB. Supposedly her family fits in at Chart 51 John French but I have never been able to get a copy of it to verify against my other records. I would greatly appreciate any help I can get in unraveling her history. Of course I would be willing to share what I know about her descendants with anyone interested in this line. thanks in advance ... gary grove

Hello List, I believe my family is part of Chart #20. I descend from Thomas French, the Quaker settler to east Jersey in 1677. I have the descent of Thomas French as published in the Genealogy of the Descendants of Thomas French by Howard Barclay French transcribed on my website if anyone is interested. It has no search engine I'm afraid but your welcome to try looking. <A HREF="http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/s/z/e/Diane-B-Szeliga/">Family Tree Maker's Genealogy Site: User Home Pages: The O'Rourke, Horan</A> Diane Szeliga PS Anyone searching this line, I welcome assistance as I'm trying to tighten up some of my relationships.

Hi Barb - I would like to know more about your line. I am also a descendant of Jonathan and Huldah (Dwinell) FRENCH, through both Esther and Benjamin Franklin French.

I am still looking for William Miles French, born in Ohio 1 July 1838, married Martha Davis. Lived in Cabell County, WV until 1880, then went to Tennessee and Arkansas. Need parents of William and marriage information for William and Martha. Martha was born in VA, can't find marriage record. Thanks for any help on this. I have info on children to share. Dorothy

I was a member of the French Family Association for about 8 years. I shared all of my material on the Hugh French line with the editor. During this time period I received probably three issues of the newsletter The French Line. That is not even annually much less a quarterly. I have paid a total of $30.00 in membership fees over time and decided not to renew when the last renewal came. Several years ago I asked for a financial statement regarding the association and she agreed but said it was mixed in with her personal finance and asked if I wanted her income tax statement? I declined of course. I realize in the past she has spent a great deal of time compiling the "charts." The research was hers sometimes and sometimes not. And I know she has gained many friends because of this. The professional genealogical community has an association of one name studies that functions as an umbrella organization to monitor family association. Some function well and others fizzle. There are pamphlets showing how to organize and function effectively. The most effective group that I am aware of is The Rose Family Association, lead by Christine Rose, CG. F.A.S.G. [Chris co-authored the Idiots Guide to Genealogy and lectures Nationally] The Blue Family Association has effectively compiled a newsletter twice a year for $12.00 dues.

The publication should include lineage's of members, compilation of records such a marriage records, deeds, wills and other vital information that can be used by members. These should be contributed by members relieving the editor of research responsibilities.

For those people trying to locate the information in the French Family "Charts" I can offer some information based on what I have learned from my membership. The French Family Association (FFA) is a not-for-profit membership organization which anyone with ties to a French or allied family member is welcome to join. There is a membership fee which will entitle you to access to any of the information in the FFA files -- much of which has been donated by the members. For the membership fee a number of items will be sent to you including a Membership Booklet which lists members and shows their related family names and gives the number of their chart. Each chart is maintained by a FFA member who can help you make contact with others you may be related to. When you join the FFA and send your info about your French line you will be informed about which line and which chart your ancestors would be part of. At that point you may correspond with and exchange information with the other members who descend from your common ancestors. There are many other benefits to membership including "The Source Guide" which provides information about the FFA Library and reference material available. Also, "The Frenchline" is published quarterly which is a very informative newsletter/journal with information about the many family lines, research done by chart members, recent publications, pictures and write-ups of family reunions, and other information which would be of interest to anyone researching the French surname. All of these publications are for sale for a nominal price to cover the costs of printing. There are many people who are included as staff members and officers of the association. Mara French is one of the staff members. She is an editor of the Frenchline and also the person the membership application is sent to. I am not sure who the other people are that are still active in the organization, but if Mara has other obligations and commitments there should be someone else who is responsible for correspondence, publications, membership, and responding to inquires about the organization. The concept of scholarly research of the French family and related lines and a means by which contacts can be made with other members is a good one. It would work well in conjunction with FRENCH RootsWeb's members to provide information we might not otherwise have access to. It is unfortunate that it seems to rely on only one person for existence.

Found the following in the Sacramento BEE (California). As far as I know, my family of French's is not related, but thought someone else might be interested. .................................... FRENCH, FRANCIS Local musician in the 1930's and 1940's, died in a Sacramento rehabilitation center on December 26, 2000 a few weeks after open-heart surgery. Born Dec 3,1914 in Auburn, he was 86. He is survived by his sister, Gladys F. Durbrow and her family: William Durbrow III of Grass Valley; Nancy Kennedy of Redding; Richard A. Durbrow of Citrus Heights; Edward A. Durbrow who lives in Saztama, Japan. He played in the Grass Valley high school orchestra, traveling daily from Chicago Park on the narrow gauge RR. Frequently he was heard in recitals or at events playing the violin, accompanied by his sister on piano. After graduation in 1933, he and three other local teen-age musicians (Bud Foote, 'Speed' Parker, Bob Wilson) went around the world on the Dollar Line steamship the President Garfield, playing violin and saxophone. After returning, the group played for dances in Peardale, You Bet and a Lake Olympia. Later, he graduated from Sacramento Junior College and played in the Sacramento Symphony orchestra. He became a roving music instructor, making the rounds weekly at Auburn, Marysville and Grass Valley schools. Drafted into the Army near the end of WWII, he returned from New Guinea to work briefly for the Veterans Association, and then for the California Department of Employment - first in Stockton and then in Yuba City. He and his wife, and large number of Chihuahua dogs, lived in the same house since 1953. His ashes will be interred in the family plot next to his wife, Ruth Choate French, in the Odd Fellows' Cemetery in Grass Valley. Arrangements are in the hands of Hooper-Weaver mortuary.

Karen, Didn't find Humphrey s. French's family. Sorry! Did find him in West Point Village , Stephenson Co., in 1860, Census page 475. And found one more French so far, Alonzo French, living at Silver Creek in the same co., in 1860. Perhaps a relative. I'll keep looking for this H. S. French as he might possibly be connected to my Children's grandparents' family. Good hunting.!!!
