The United States McCraw

On the heels of our successful 2024 Reunion, Janet and Steve Harvey are planning our 2026 USMFA Reunion near the convergence of two great rivers in the St. Louis, Missouri, area. Plans are for the Reunion to be held in historic St. Charles, a Missouri River town a mere 12 minutes from St. Louis Lambert International Airport and just 30 minutes from the Mississippi River location of the Gateway Arch, The Museum of the Westward Expansion, The Old Cathedral and Busch Stadium, home of St. Louis Cardinals’ baseball. Our 2026 Reunion will be held June 12-14, 2026. While it is obvious how much St. Louis has to offer, Janet wants USMFA members to know that St. Charles, founded in 1769, will be an ideal location for our next get-together. “Explorers Lewis and Clark launched their expedition to the Pacific from St. Charles, and Daniel Boone once lived there,” Janet says. “Now the downtown features lots of shops and restaurants, and, although close to St. Louis, it has a small-town feel.”

More details will be forthcoming, please follow us on Facebook and watch our members-only newsletters for more information! 

Would you like to help us continue our research?

The USMFA sponsors research on several different fronts. We engage experts and genealogists to assist us with investigating our American origins as well the continuing search for evidence of our ancestral origins. Our DNA program pays for testing to try to further our understanding of our origins and to try to find linkages with individuals who may conclusively prove whether our family lore of a connection to Isle of Skye in Scotland is truth or myth. Based on suggestions at our 2022 Reunion we have set up a donation link where you can donate to either our DNA program or our general fund. Either option helps us with our continuing research. While we are a registered 501(c)7 nonprofit organization, these donations would not be tax deductible.
