A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT

Welcome to our Website. The National Stanley Family Association (NSFA) was organized in Damascus, Ohio on September 25th, 1989 with 34 members. The first elected President KENNETH L. STANLEY stated the purpose of the association as follows:

• To bring our members into closer relationship with each other.
• To share knowledge of our heritage from our early ancestors.
• To recognize the hardships they endured that we might have a better life.
• To record their accomplishments that they may be preserved for future generations.

Almost twenty-one years later we continue to strive to accomplish these same goals, and to build upon the achievements of those who have served before us. Since 1989 we have:

• Held 21 annual two-day Reunion meetings in various parts of the country that hold historic interest for our members.
• Published SIX VOLUMES of ancestral information listing the generations back to THOMAS¹ STANLEY and his three sons, JAMES², THOMAS² JR., and JOHN².
• Printed and distributed to our members a NEWSLETTER three times a year, containing articles and information of genealogical interest. (See Webpage Link-NEWSLETTER)
• Established a STATE ADVISORY BOARD with coordinators from States having concentrations of STANLEY residents. Currently the States of Virginia, North Carolina, Ohio, Indiana, Iowa, and California are represented. We seek contact persons in other areas as well.
• Initiated and maintain this Web Site of current information pertaining to NSFA.
• We encourage a growing membership. We hope you will consider joining us if you have not already done so. See Membership

We are proud of our family heritage and seek to build wisely and well upon that which we have received. If you are interested in joining us we would welcome your involvement and support. Thanks for visiting with us and best wishes from the members of the NATIONAL STANLEY FAMILY ASSOCIATION.

Darlene K Stanley, President
