ABOUT TOWNE Newsletters

Membership in TFA includes quarterly newsletters packed with little-known histories of various descendants of William and Joanna Towne. Individual genealogies are included in most issues, as well as association news. These newsletters are available to members only on the website unless a printed copy is requested on the renewal form. If you are a current TFA member in good standing AND have been registered on the website, click the following link to be taken to the page where you may access the current newsletter as well as our archive of over 40 years of past newsletters.

If you are not yet a member, or need to renew, click below for the membership form, which will need to be processed by Carolyn before you will be assigned a user account.

REMINDER: Membership renewals are due July 1, 2025. The membership/renewal form is on the website and in every issue of About Towne. Renew by July 1st to avoid missing any issues of the newsletter.

2025 TFA Membership Form


Do you know of a TFA member who has been special to you, either with a recent achievement, or over the course of TFA's history? Arthur and Jean Towne have sent in several tributes, but we know that there are many other members out there who deserve some special recognition. About Towne is looking for your contributions. If you need help putting one together, contact our editor who will give you some suggestions and may be able to direct you to someone else interested in writing a tribute to the same member.

We are looking forward to working with everyone to continue to provide members with a high quality newsletter. Some old and new topics that we would like to see featured include:
  • Your personal family history, stories and traditions, passed on by your ancestors;
  • Issues of interest: national/regional events, local gatherings, conferences, locations of interest;
  • Health, DNA and family history;
  • Significant newsworthy events in the lives of our members (births, deaths, graduations, marriages, promotions, publications, volunteer work...and, anything you'd like to brag about!).
