This article is from an SFAA member, and will be in an upcoming book. A 7th generation Vermont Yankee, born in Montpelier VT to a Methodist family, Father Ron Lawson has led a fascinating life…. And continues to do so. Graduating with the class of 1956 from Middlebury College, taking his degree in Russian, he had a two-year commitment to US Army Intelligence in the field of counterespionage. He stayed with the Army for another two years attaining the rank of 1st Lieutenant. Assigned to West Berlin after completing a special dual language course (German and Polish) taught in the Hawkins Barracks in Oberammergau, Bavaria, he continued as a “spy catcher”. From the STRONG mailing list on Rootsweb: From: “Shelley Cardiel” <cardiels@comcast.net> I’ve “rescued” an old photograph of Caro Reynolds STRONG dated 1895. The Caro Reynolds STRONG b. 3 May 1875 in Pittston, PA to parents Theodore I am hoping to locate someone from the family so that this wonderful old Thanks, Orville Nathan Strong (1857-1936)
Born 23 January 1857 in Rodman, Jefferson Co., NY. If you can help with this inquiry, please Comment on this post, or Contact the Webmaster. Thank you! Good Afternoon, My name is Karen Strong Railey and I am looking for information concerning my gr grandfather who was known as Edward Henry Strong. I haven’t been able to find anything concerning him before I find him in IA when he married Susan Beedle/Beadle. I do not know if he was married before he went to IA or if he had children before this.I don’t have parent’s or sibling’s names. That information was never passed down. Edward’s family before his marriage to Susan has been a brick wall for my cousins and I. We are hoping if we put out info and questions to as many Strong’s as we can we’ll eventually come across someone who knows about him or recognizes some circumstances that happened in their branch of Strong’s that may be similar to some of our family stories or that some of Edward’s children’s names will be the same as some of Edward’s ancestors or siblings in someone’s Strong family and we’ll be able to figure this out that way. Below is pretty much what I know about Edward. The 2010 Strong Family Reunion will be the second weekend of August, Friday August 13, 2010 to Sunday August 15, 2010 in Sturbridge, Massachusetts. I’ll give you more information as soon as I find out! See you there!

 Thomas Strong Line, 2009 Strong Family Reunion Would you like to do some genealogy? You probably already have an idea of where you might fit in, but let me remind you of some broad areas of need. Preservation Copy We have four 4-drawer filing cabinets of paper records. If those records get lost in a fire, flood, or tornado, our thousands upon thousands of carefully collected documents are gone forever. We plan to run these pages through a scanner, one page at a time. The Historian, President, and Webmaster will each have a copy of the scanned computer files. That way, if some disaster happens to the original, our records are safe. We are looking for a few people who understand the importance of this preservation project, and are experienced in carefully scanning documents into their computer, and who have their own scanner.

 Mary Strong Line, 2009 Strong Family Reunion Wow! This is Part 19 and counting! I hope you have enjoyed reading about our ideas. Maybe you have even thought of ways you would like to contribute! It won’t take long for us to build some momentum, and have fun in the process! In fact, we can bring some happy results to the 2010 Strong Family Reunion in Sturbridge, Massachusetts. Here is what I think we can accomplish over the next year:
With that bit of experience under our belts, we should have a very good idea of whether we want to proceed with the Preliminary Information project, or stop with preserving the Historian Archives. I expect that by time we reach the next Reunion, we will already have some momentum, and we can propose an official project based on the experience gained in our “pilot project.” Please share your ideas!

 Stronghold Castle Turret Stairs, 2009 Reunion Tour We began Part 1 by posing the question, “Why would I want to join?” We answered, “Let’s do some genealogy, in a way that will be interesting to our membership.” We continued by posing the question, “How do we get this project off the ground?” We answered, “Create an interesting online presence, and focus on early results that we can show off.” In answering those two questions, we have accomplished some amazing results! But more importantly, we have completely prepared ourselves to take on a Future Strong Updates program. We have the means, we have the material, we have the training, and we have the processes. We have made our wealth of knowledge available through the Newsletter and online. We have become more interactive than ever before, in a manner particularly appealing to the younger generation. We have published our works already in progress on CD and as instant download. At this point, if we as an Association decide to take on a Future Strong Updates project, we’ll know exactly how to do so. Please share your ideas!

 Grinnell Genealogy 1887, Grand Ledge Michigan To the best of my knowledge, we all have two parents. Most of us who have studied the Strong side of the family have also gathered information on other non-Strong parts of the family. In principle, everything I’ve suggested that applies to collecting and disseminating our Strong Family heritage, applies to our allied families as well. I see no reason why our Digital Library couldn’t include photos and documents related to other families, so long as they are correctly cataloged. We thus provide a greater service, and greater interest, to our members at large. In principle, we can provide books on CD regarding these allied families, so long as we don’t lose our original focus. By providing an outlet for sharing their own heritage, we do a service to specific members, while gaining additional interest and widening our own scope of influence. At that point we have an established process, and can provide advice and experience. It’s a possibility… but a long way down the road! Please share your ideas! Sharing our Knowledge Sharing our Knowledge is a series of articles about the Historian Archives Project and how you can become involved. In Creating for the Future, I proposed generating future Strong Updates books from an Official Strong Genealogy Database. The other large value of this approach is that we can take things in bite-size pieces. Someone can pick up one specific family unit, or one specific file folder from the Historian Archives and do the research surrounding that one specific topic. Rather than taking on a daunting multi-year task all at once, someone can take on one manageable piece, and when that’s complete, come back for the next piece. Continue reading One Bite at a Time |
