There are hundreds of Grinnell family stories in our 30 years'-worth of newsletters on this website, which are available to members via the Downloads link at the top of this page. Please join our Association to assist us in our genealogy efforts, and we will make available to you our previous research in these newsletters. |
Grinnell Newsletter Posted The Fall 2009 GFA newsletter has been posted on this website for paid members. Just log in, click the Downloads link, go to 2009, and there you have it! As always, if you're having difficulties, please feel free to contact the GFA Webmaster.
2010 GFA Website Password Changed! The password to access the GFA linked genealogy, forums, and the newsletter library was changed on Sunday, January 17, 2010. Please check your new membership cards with the large green "G" for the new password. Also note (with our sincere apologies) that the new membership card states membership is good for the year 2009. If the background "G" is green, it should be 2010. Again, our apologies.
REUNION! The 2010 Grinnell Family Association reunion is coming up July 9-11, 2010 in the Providence, RI area. More details when they become available.
It's Here! We have made major enhancements to the Grinnell Family Association linked online genealogy. This enhancement also brings a major change in policy. Effective immediately, membership in the Grinnell Family Association is now required in order to access our genealogy database. For $15.00 a year, you can access the results of years of work--over 30,000 names, almost 10,000 families, whose one common trait is that they all link back to Matthew and Rose Greenell of Lexden, England, Membership also gives you access to every newsletter ever published by the GFA. We have extensively updated the database this past year, and you now have the opportunity to submit corrections directly in the program. Also, due to many requests, we have blanked out the names of anyone presumed living. Please click the link to the membership page, and join the Grinnell Family Association. To access the genealogy database, you will need to 1) be a GFA member, 2) set up a user account on this website (see link at right), and 3) after the site admin activates your account (usually within 24 hours), log in to the site. Only when you log in will you see the link at the top of the page (Linked Grinnell Genealogy) to the genealogy database.
The Discussion Forum area requires registration. Anyone can read the existing comments, but you will need to register to post. Please click this link for more detailed instructions on setting up your user account. We hope you will use this forum to provide us with updated genealogical information and to post queries about research problems that are stumping you.
