An Invitation to Join..... with almost 500* other FOOTE families
Who Are We? The Foote Family Association of America is intended to be the reorganization of the original Foote Family Association of America formed June 5, 1907, at Wethersfield, Connecticut. It is an organization, which formed to preserve the records of the family posterity and to provide the means for reviving, forming, and perpetuating Foote Family friendships and associations.
We trace our roots back to the early 1500's in England. As a result of many years of researching family histories, we have amassed a great deal of information about our ancestors and their movements from Colchester England to this country.
The period of time involved encompasses some 478 years from the birth of our oldest ancestor to the present.
We are in no way related to the recently formed Foote Family Association of North America, although. Of course their members are welcome in this association. Cultivation of friendship between all Foote Family Associations, either formal or informal, is a purpose of this organization.
Membership in this Association is open to all descendants of the FOOTE name, along with their husbands, wives, children, and widows or widowers. Membership is a family Membership which includes husband, wife, and their children under 18 years of age.
The Constitution of our Association requires us to :
- Encourage and develop family contacts among all members of the FOOTE Family.
- Encourage and develop the study of the genealogy of each branch of the FOOTE family.
The benefits of membership are:
- A Biennial Reunion - next held in August 6-8th,2009. The idea of the reunion is a rededication to the momument in Wethersfield, CT. This is the 100th anniversary in 2008.
- A quarterly Newsletter of family activities, history and genealogical events.
- An opportunity to acquire historical and collectible items, with the family crest applied from The Foote Shoppe, which will fund the Association and several foundation-type activities.
- A Roster of all members facilitating contact and the building of goodwill among members.
