HISTORY AND STRUCTURE
The Fales Family Association
in the United States of America was formed
March 13, 1988 at the Fales
Family Reunion in Longwood, Florida. A small group began getting
together in 1982 and gradually
expanded into the nucleus, which formed the Association in 1988.
The Association is rather loosely structured and is staffed by elected
officers and appointed
chairpersons. Fales Family Association in the United States of America
is a member of the Federation
of Genealogical Societies.

MEETINGS
A biannual meeting/reunion is
held in odd-numbered years, usually in
Florida on a weekend during the
month of March (this season provides Fales an opportunity to include Fales
who are wintering, or would
like to enjoy a winter vacation, in Florida). In this way, many, many
Fales from across our country
have become acquainted, discovered cousins, and had a great deal of fun
and fellowship together.
PUBLICATION
FFA membership includes a
subscription to Fales Family Association
News, published randomly. FFAN is the successor to the Fales
Family
Bulletin (FFB) published by member John Thomas Fales from November 1982
through November
1993.
