Genealogical Committee
We are still searching for new members for the Genealogical
Committee. This is an important part of our Association.
We are currently working on a computer database that we can
provide to all family members. We so far have over 75,000 names in our files.
We need volunteers who would be willing to do some of the
input. If you are interested please contact
Genealogist
Please note : You must be a member of the EFA or become one in
order to help with this particular project.
Also if you already have a computer program with your family
data on it would you mail us a copy. You can send it on either a Iomega Zip
Disk or floppy disks to
our Genealogist

Archives
Throughout the
years many items which may have proved valuable to Eddy Family Association
members have been lost or thrown away. Although we can�t do anything about the
past , it is time to start archiving materials that future generations of the
Eddy Family Association may find useful.
Which is why I
am now asking you to please send me any copies of Birth, Death, Marriage notices
or interesting articles from your local Newspapers, family scrapbooks or bibles,
which have a connection to the Eddy surname. These notices will be placed in an
archival scrapbook so that they may be available for the future Association
members and will also be used to provide a source for the information on your
family members.

The
Eddy Family Virtual Cemetery
One important aspect in any
genealogist�s research is locating the burial plots of their ancestors. Not only
does a tombstone give important data but it also commemorates and acknowledges
the life and death of people we loved or those that we didn�t even know.
Unfortunately not everyone is able to visit the final resting places of those
that share our family name or lineage.
If you have any photographs
of Tombstones relating to the Eddy Family, new or old and would like to have
them posted in the Virtual Cemetery .

Biographies
To know the names and dates of
our ancestors is a wonderful thing. However what were they like,
how did they live day to day, what did they do for a living
etc.Much of this information can be found in family diaries or
obituaries of our family members who are deceased.
Do you
want to be remembered as a name and a date?
Nothing to tell
us about yourself?? Of course you do.
What may seem ordinary
to you will mean the world to future generations. Simple things
like what you enjoy, your favourite recipe, where you went to
school, your memories growing up . Think about what you wish you
could know about an ancestor.
You don't have to be famous to
be interesting.....
We are currently asking Eddy Family
ancestors to submit biographies written about yourself, parents,
grandparents or perhaps an ancestor who you have heard
stories about or have researched their life.
You don't have
to be a writer, we will edit it for you if you wish. The data
will be placed in our database and eventually published, so that
future generations will know who we were.
Please send
biographies to
genealogist@eddyfamilyassociation.com
or mail
