Presidential Families of America

Overview Presidential Families of America is a lineage society comprised of members who share direct or collateral kinship with one or more

Presidents of the United States. Founded in 1995, it is a non-profit corporation recognized as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization.

The American Experiment ranks among the greatest achievements of human civilization. Having successfully established

unprecedented individual freedoms, private ownership, and republic-based democratic governance, the United States of America has

essentially pioneered and protected the free-world model across the globe. At the helm of this remarkable nation stands the leader of

the executive branch of its government -- the Commander in Chief, the President.

Known in this modern era as 'The Leader of the Free World', the President does, indeed, wield extraordinary power. Among other things,

the post carries the singular allowance to wage war for 60 days without the consent of Congress, the privilege of nominating Supreme

Court Justices, and the ability to veto legislation from Congress. The President's position and office, unlike the judicial and legislative

branches of government, is unified, focused and concise, and its authority is remarkably consolidated.

Even so, our Presidents are only mere mortals and fellow Americans whom descend from the very same immigrants from whom we

ourselves descend. They grew up in the same cities and towns. With only about 400 years of history, American genealogical study is a

relatively defined field, although significant research still needs to be undertaken. Because of this, our common, traceable lineages

uniquely tie Americans as a nation and as individuals.

Presidential Families of America is committed to honoring the men (and no doubt, women, in future years) who have led our nation. The

organization is dedicated to identifying and preserving the family history records of all American Presidents as well as nurturing

fellowship among their descendants and relatives.

PFA members are united in celebration of the accomplishments of all American Presidents, regardless of political party. We cherish the

special heritage which has come to us through our Presidents.
