Google and Facebook and website, oh my!
Dear reader,
Allow me a few words to explain how we are doing electronic communications for the Ewing Family Association, and how you can participate.
Our e-mail system (forum) for EFA was restarted a while ago as a Google Group. The Forum has 149 members at last count. (https://groups.google.com/group/ewingfamilyassociation . Send mail to ewingfamilyassociation at googlegroups dot com . )
We have a large and multi-faceted web site at www.ewingfamilyassociation.org. It can also be used for selected member correspondence. We have had 675 distinct "visitors" in recent months. (Send contributions to webmaster at ewingfamilyassociation dot com .)
And, we have also developed a Facebook "page" that is functionally somewhere between the Forum and the web site, but reaching a rather different audience. (https://www.facebook.com/ewing.family.association ) The page has 76 "likes" and 20-60 "active users" -- whatever those numbers mean!
How to Participate
We at the Ewing Family Association (EFA) want to encourage the widest participation among people who are interested in the history and genealogy of Ewing-surname (and similar) families. There are many ways to join in. Here are a few:
- Browse this web site!
- Participate in our discussion forum at Google, and look at the archived discussions. We'd be happy to have you join the group first, but it is possible to e-mail questions to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .
- Go to the EFA Facebook page: www.fb.com/ewing.family.association. As an FB member, you can "like" us and share your story there.
- Join the Association. This is our "gold standard". For annual $25 dues, you receive a subscription to our award-winning Ewing Family Journal (quarterly), and the opportunity to attend our biennial family gatherings and to help guide the work of the EFA as a voting member.
- Write for the Ewing Family Journal, work with genealogy and history projects, the web site, help organize gatherings. The sky is the limit!
Hello, Cousins!
Welcome to the new web site for the Ewing Family Association! We hope to provide you and the world with the best collection of news and research results relating to the greater Ewing Family. We hope you will find new insights and perhaps a little fun relating to the Association's work of bringing together our "tribe". We are and hope to be a diverse surname-based group, including people with all variant spellings of the name and all national, ethnic and cultural backgrounds.
Why a new site? The first EFA web site came on line more than 10 years ago. (Then we were known as Clan Ewing in America.) For the last 6 years, with intelligence, wit, and great dedication, our former webmaster William Ewing Riddle developed the site in parallel with his stewardship as Editor of the Ewing Family Journal (formerly, Journal of Clan Ewing in America). Ten years on the web is a long time -- several generations of software and hardware technology. So it was time for a "refresh".
