During the past year I have studied the question of our family history more than ever before. At the time you selected me as your President I was not positive that I was a descendant of either Maximilian or Joseph, but since then I have traced my line until now I know that I am a descendant of Maximilian and am one of you. In this research I have been struck with the lack of tangible information; many times the genealogical data has been very short. Frequently the maiden names of the mothers of our line have been lost sight of. All this forces me to realize the greater importance of such a Family Association as ours and points out more clearly our duty to devote as much time as possible to re­ search for the purpose of straightening out all doubtful lines, and of instilling into the present generation so much enthusiasm that they will wish to keep the history of their families straight so that future generations may not have the same troubles we have had. It is astonishing how many there are who do not care enough about genealogical matters to give you the dates of the births, marriages, and deaths of their own family, and in reply to repeated letters have said such matters do not interest them. In some instances it is far easier to gather the vital statistics of two hun­ dred years ago than it is those of a few years back. Some will proudly tell you that they know when their ancestor eight, or ten generations back, was born, when married, and when he came to America, but can tell you nothing as to the date of birth of their grandfather, father or mother. I think we should get a collection of autographs and portraits and print them in our future year books, with historical incidents in which members of the family have participated. Our Puritan ancestors when they left England seem to have cut them­ selves off from the past. Take the case of John Alden-name familiar to us all in history, fiction and poetry-nothing is known of his forefathers ; and as for our family, we know that Edward was the father of 1\1:aximjlian and Joseph, but beyond that it is a haze. I would like to see our Association with such a large membership that we could afford to make a thorough search of the English records and t-r·ace our forefathers an~ foremothers back to the Norman Conquest. I have been attempting to increase our membership and in this I want the assistance of every member of the Association. With this object in view I have had the Coat-of-Arms of our forefathers printed in colors, and it has given me great pleasure to present a copy of this to every one of the present members of the Association and to all new members as well. As President of the Jewett Family of America it falls upon me to issue the second Year Book and I ask from you all its favorable reception. Members of the Association, from old Rowley by the Atlantic, to San Francisco by the Pacific, and those· across the seas, I greet you.

JEWETT It has seemed to me most fitting that the current year book should give a short _account of the points of interest that led to the reunion in 1910 (the first one of the Jewett family for fifty-five years), and the incorporation of The Jewett Family of America. rhe two strongest reasons for this account are first-historical. It is always interesting to look back upon the small beginnings of great move­ ments, and we earnestly hope that the future work of the Jewett Family of America shall be such as to warrant its name. Secondly-I feel that in this way I can express my gratitude to many individuals, but for whose earnest and spontaneous co-operation the inspiring reunion of 1910 would never have been held. · When I started with working out the idea I didn't know but one or two of those later so actively interested. First of all credit should be given to Dr. Fred Clarke Jewett, for it was his history, to which he gave so many valuable years, that inspired the desire for reunion and brought such hearty response from all. In the fall of 1909 I wrote Dr. Fred and found him heartily in favor of such reunion and he sent me list of names of those whom he thought would be interested, and I at once wrote to some and called upon others. I knew if we were to meet in the summer of 1910, some one had to move ; so with only a self-assumed authority, backed by the consent of Dr. Charles Jewett of Brooklyn, to act as chairman, and letters from a few agreeing to go on com­ mittee, the first general letter under date of January 19th, 1910, was sent out as follows : January 10, 1910. Dear Kinsman : As a representative of the Jewett family we trust you will be interested in a proposed gathering of the clan for a social Family Reunion, at Rowley, l\'1ass., during the summer of 1910. This invitation which is intended as personal to you and yours, will be extended to over 3,000 members of the family in the United States, surely enough to insure a representative gathering. We naturally hope to be assured of your interest and co-operation in inaking the occasion a success, not only by your presence, but also by your personal efforts in extending the ''call'' to all the uncles, aunts and cousins within the circle of your acquaintance, lest any be overlooked. The present acting committee earnestly wishes to increase its number and efficiency by the addition of one or more willing and enthusiastic mem­ bers from each section near and far, who will give their aid and counsel in the preliminaries, arrangements, and the successful carrying out of these arrangeme~ts.

    “Rest well, yet sleep lightly and hear the call, if again sounded, to provide Firepower for Freedom…” 3rd Quarter 2013 The Jerseyman Number 79 Update on the Battleship New Jersey Memorial Kiosk Rich Thrash, Battleship Brass Team Volunteer It’s been a very busy spring on the battleship, lots of special events going on and overall attendance seems to be up a little over recent years. I don’t have any hard numbers to support that observation, but I do know I’m seeing more people passing by us as we work along the tour routes. The Turret II Experience is popular too; in fact additional slots are now available to schedule that tour on Saturdays. In addition to spending every Saturday I can on the ship working and polishing brass, I’ve also been busy over the last few months adding more crewmember names to the Memorial Kiosk. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Tom Kowszun for his help with the programming aspects of making the kiosk more user-friendly and interactive. I’ve also had a lot of help from Margaret and Dave Burgess who, through the use of www.ancestry.com, have tracked down the names of all plank owners who were onboard on commissioning day, May 23, 1943. Ancestry.com has been a great resource for this initial effort because it contains Muster Logs for the ships entire 1940’s period of active service. Memorial Kiosk, now on the main deck in the Sailors’ Life Gallery, a With Tom’s help we’ve taken the kiosk from something visitors could just much better location for it read names on, to a place where they can leave Deck Log entries about their visit and request information on how to add names to the kiosk.

I think I can say for everyone “it’s been quite a year”. Certainly not the year we had hoped for at the beginning and hopefully there will be no more surprises before we reach December 31st. This issue features an article for Thanksgiving about the Mayflower courtesy of David Hunt followed by a tribute to Christmas with issues from Around the World and finally I felt we could not end this year without referring to COVID-19. I found an article depicting several Issues and the through searching on the internet I found a number of other issues. So the last article of the year is a tribute to all the Frontline Workers who have worked and still are working tirelessly to help those who have this virus and to all the families who have lost loved ones. God Bless them All. To all our members and those who might read this Overprint greetings and best wishes for a safe Thanksgiving and Christmas.
