Newsletters

These are the newsletters published for the Family of Francis Marion Shaw and Rachel Moore Allen. The first newsletter was published in 1993 and have been published semi-annually each year since. We work to get the most recent newsletters available for download soon after they are created.

Your historical contributions are requested. Your family histories including character traits, religious affiliations, professional pursuits and vital information such as birth dates and places, marriage dates and places, and death dates and places are welcome.

Photographs help make the newsletter come alive. If you have some special photos of your ancestors which you would like to share with all of the family, please arrange to have a copy sent to the editor. If original photos are sent, they will be carefully handled and returned, but editor cannot be responsible for loss or damage.
