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.”
Carol wrote the book on the McCraw Family. Literally. Because of the efforts of Carol and the many researchers that worked with her, we have one of the most detailed written histories of any family in America. Our story as recorded in the current Third Edition of her book comes in at a staggering 1,449 pages. Her book is available for purchase from the Association as part of our membership package on our "Join Us!" page.


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.
