Current Activities of the SFA

Email Update Project

We are updating and obtaining email addresses for any and all Sherbondy descendants. We use these solely for SFA genealogical activities. Our current newsletter (started 2022) is sent only by email. Future confirmation of genealogical data will be performed only by email. If you have not been contacted by the SFA since 2000, please send us your email address and street address if you wish. With your first correspondence, please include your lineage back to your earliest known Sherbondy ancestor, or the ancestor of your Clan. Use a pfd form here to print and mail or if you wish you can e-mail us your information. You will be contacted for updates when publication of your genealogy in book form is imminent.

Website Conversion and Update

We converted the old website to WordPress in 2021. The conversion was done at a raw level and many tweeks and updates are needed. We are making these changes as we have time but without knowing a lot about websites, it’s taking a fair amount of time to learn about WordPress, plugins, etc., etc., etc.!

2022 has arrived and perhaps 50% of the SFA pages have been updated and converted. We are looking into plugin options for our timelines and clan charts so we can make them user friendly on the new site. We are looking for experienced Sherbondy descendants to help with the website updates. This help can be for a specific project (timelines, charts, etc) or for a specific period or time (in hours or months, etc) or as Webmaster for ongoing maintenance.

Address update project

We are updating our address files for any and all Sherbondy descendants. We use these solely for SFA genealogical activities. Our publications and mailings are directed at ALL descendants, not just those doing research. If you have not been contacted by the SFA since 2000, please send us your street address and the addresses of your relatives. Street addresses are used for identity verification purposes to confirm information to be published. With your first correspondence, please include your lineage back to your earliest known Sherbondy ancestor, or the ancestor of your Clan. Use a pfd form here to print and mail or if you wish you can e-mail us your street mailing address and lineage. You will be contacted for updates when publication of your genealogy in book form is imminent.

Photo Project

The first phase of our genealogical computerization was for names, dates and places. For most information received prior to 2000, the computerization is complete (we will continue to update our data in the order it is received). We are now starting on scanning and insertion of photos into the genealogies. One photo will be allowed for each family. You can now see Clan S (with two photos) and Clan U for examples of how the photos will appear in the book and (for the early generations) on the web site. The photos in the Clan U and Clan I genealogies are most likely the only photos in existence of grandchildren of John Sherbondy #1. Please send us your photos now for inclusion in future publications.

Data Entry

We continue to do data entry on genealogical data. We are computerizing the data in the order that we receive it. Please send your information soon so it will be entered in a timely manner!

With your first correspondence to the SFA, please include your lineage back to your earliest known Sherbondy ancestor, or to the ancestor of your Clan.
