Welcome to the Kimball Family Association
Web Site Update
We have added a collection of links to research your own family. Included are both links to specific Kimball
genealogy Web sites, but also common genealogy sites, and sites to help our viewers learn how to start a family
tree. If we are missing any of your favorite links, please email us at kimball AT kimballfamilyassociation DOT

We're up to 75 fans on our new KFA Facebook.
We are also pleased that there is a fair amount of discussion from the particpants about their Kimball relatives
and ancestors. This site allows us to post pictures of your Kimball ancestors, start discussion about your research,
ask questions to get help from others, and add links to helpful genealogy sites. If you are interested, click on
the picture to the left to check us out. We also have information about our plans and accomplishements for this
Web site here.
Special Gifts for Special Kimballs
KFA
offers some unique gifts for friends and family. These items are embroidered with the Kimball Coat of Arms. Plush fleece jackets, scarves,
and blankets for
those cold winter days, aprons for the cook, T-shirts for
everyday, and warm robes to cuddle up in at night. And for the avid genealogist
in your family, KFA has just finished Volumes II &
III of "The Kimball Family in America".
Profits from these goods go to sponsor an educational scholarship for a deserving
Kimball. And we have the perfect "stocking stuffer": a $10 annual membership to
the Kimball Family Association. The membership fees support the extensive research being done to complete Volumes
IV and V as well as other cost like the scholarships and quarterly newsletter. KFA is a non-profit, all volunteer
organization.
2012 Reunion Plans
The
2012 annual Kimball Family Association Reunion will be held on September 15, 2012 at the Holiday Inn and Suites
in Peabody, MA. The Reunion committee had a number of requests to extend the length of the reunion to provide time
for travelers to focus on genealogy and socialize. Feedback is needed from KFA members in order to commit to a
Friday (September 14, 2012) evening gathering at the Holiday Inn and Suites, where genealogy and socializing would
be the theme. The committee is open to other suggestions. More...
New KFA Officers
At
this year's Reunion and Annual Meeting, new officers were elected. Judith Miller moved from 1st
VP to President replacing Al Hall who has served for two years. Both are pictured to the left. A newcomer to KFA, Jared
Handspicker, has been elected 1st VP, and Marion Bowden remains as 2nd VP.The officers
volunteer their time for all of these positions and their duties require a significant effort to make our non-profit
organization successful. KFA welcomes our new officers and thanks the past officers for their dedication and service.
Other KFA officers are listed on our Current Officers page.
Who Do You Know?
Our "Who
Do You Know" column continues. We are featuring photos of unknown Kimballs that hopefully
someone else will be able to identify. Members are encouraged to send us your picture(s) with a 250-300 word
article about facts relating to the photos, so please join. Email mykimball
