The Strong Fam­ily Asso­ci­a­tion of Amer­ica, includ­ing over 700 mem­bers from at least 46 States, Canada, and Aus­tralia, is pleased to wel­come you to our fam­ily Web­site. This por­tion of our web­site is designed specif­i­cally to keep our mem­ber­ship informed of on going activ­i­ties, reunions, and projects cur­rently under­way, as well as to pro­vide a num­ber of links to other Strong Fam­ily sites with more exten­sive genealog­i­cal information.

As one of the old­est fam­i­lies in Amer­ica, we take great pride in shar­ing infor­ma­tion about our her­itage with you. We rec­og­nize the need of an Inter­net pres­ence to help more peo­ple world­wide become aware of our exis­tence. Our con­stant desire to locate more mem­bers of our very exten­sive fam­ily and invite them into our asso­ci­a­tion is bound­less. The pride and sat­is­fac­tion of know­ing one’s “roots” is truly a reward­ing expe­ri­ence and we wel­come all Strong descen­dants who are inter­ested to par­tic­i­pate in this endeavor with us.

We cor­dially invite you to view our site at any time, now and in the future, for ref­er­ence to our Strong Fam­ily Association’s con­tin­u­ing efforts.

The Strong Fam­ily Asso­ci­a­tion Coat of Arms (The Strong Crest) was approved by the SFAA Direc­tors at the SFAA Annual National Mem­bers’ Meet­ing in August 1977 as the Offi­cial Strong Fam­ily Asso­ci­a­tion Coat of Arms (Crest). This came about after much research into the back­ground by sev­eral of the more knowl­edge­able SFAA mem­bers. From this infor­ma­tion, a young SFAA mem­ber artist, James Horner Strong of Arling­ton, MA painted this crest which was sub­se­quently approved by the SFAA Direc­tors. The ani­mal in the SFAA Crest is a wyvern or eagle. Most Amer­i­can ref­er­ences list it as an eagle. It bears a close resem­blance to the ani­mal in the Taunton City, Som­er­set, Eng­land crest which is a wyvern.

The Latin motto, “Ten­tanda Via Est” was approved by the SFAA Direc­tors to be the SFAA motto with the trans­la­tion to be: “The way is to be tried.”
