The Spring, 2012
Newsletter is now available on the Newsletter

Joseph V. Farrar, Jr. passed away at his home
in Riverside County, California on December 28th, 2010.
Joseph, the oldest son of Joseph V. Farrar, Sr. and Viola (Schwend)
Farrar, assumed the duties of family Patriarch
when Joseph, Sr. passed away in 1983. Joseph, Jr. was a
tireless promoter of the Farrar Family Reunion.
He supported and attended all of the 30+ reunions and organized two
'Rendezvous' at Farrar's Island in Virginia,
one in 1997 and one that was impacted by events of 911 in September of
2001. (read more about these two events at THIS LINK).

ITEMS
OF INTEREST
We visited ancestors buried in the Old
Flatcreek Cemetery
located in Flatcreek Tennessee. The cemetery isn’t
maintained
and it is very overgrown (not something we can understand given the
fact
so many Farrar’s with ancestors in this cemetery reside in the
area).
Additional information will be posted and the link page expanded as
time
permits. You
can view the information at this link.
Directions to Farrar's Island: You can
locate directions to Farrar's Island on the web page of the City of Henricus Historical Park web
page. Once there, click on 'directions' under the title and
following the instructions. I have also placed a Mapquest
map of Farrar's Island here which you can adjust and print for
reference. You will need to zoom in to see the island, now
Henricus Historical Park (Latitude: 37.375, Longitude:
-77.370).
Information about the Farrar family coat
of arms at the link indicated. The information comes from
Holmes first book (more
information on Holmes book offer page). The information
includes a description of the colors of the coat of arms and there also
is a translation of that description..
The bulletin board had to be removed, we may
figure out a way to provide this service in the future. In the
meantime, you can find a lot of interesting information and post
your questions on the Farrar
Family Forum.
