Welcome to the Work Family Gene!

Traditional Work Family History

In the fall of 1988 I made a journey by road from Northeastern Oklahoma to Southern California.  I went to visit my brother, to see the ocean, to seek myself ... but I found my family.

Searching the Web, I found no Work Family Association, no Work Family Newsletter, no Work surnames.   This year we are going to try to fix that.  That fall of 1988 after finding a wealth of information about the Work Family, my brother and I made plans to try to publish an updated version by 1993.  By our calculations that would have been the 300 year anniversary of our ancestors' arrival in the New World.  One thing lead to another and almost ten years later I am happy to say that the original author of the most comprehensive history of the Work Family, did publish an update, though my only contribution was encouragement to my brother.  He sent in our records for that updated version.

Did you ever try to do research on the Work Family?  Kind of frustrating to pull up all those references to 'work and family life', 'my e-mail address at Work', etc., isn't it.

Well, here's the Work Family Association.  All of you wandering Work Family members are cordially invited to join.  And here is the Work Family Newsletter.   I need your assistance to have real news about what events are taking place in our lives in the here and now.  Want to leave a message, visit the: Work Family Message Board .

I have also requested and recieved the most wonderful page on , the Work Family Genealogy Forum. Your prompt response has been wonderful!
