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 Coat of Arms

Strong Family Crest 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.”
