2023 Annual Membership Dues increase
The BLAISDELL FAMILY NATIONAL ASSOCIATION worked over the past twenty years to keep annual dues at the lowest level. Rising costs for printing and mailing THE BLAISDELL PAPERS added to increasing the number of libraries receiving issues and the maintenance updating of our website make it impossible to continue at the 2022 Annual Membership rate.
The global pandemic caused significant disruptions in the supply chain and increased the cost of living and of doing our work. The cost of everything has gone up. Our printer has secured necessary supplies to handle our June 2022 issue. We are fortunate to have an excellent provider.
Our current dues structure has been in place since June 2003. Effective with January 2023 Membership renewal, dues will increase to $25, Gift Membership moving to $20. This allows continuing stewardship of the Blaisdell heritage.
Questions or comments on Annual Membership may be directed to our Treasurer, Everett Curry bfna.treasurer@gmail.com.

Membership in the Blaisdell Family National Association includes a subscription to the Blaisdell Papers.
The Blaisdell Papers have been published by the Blaisdell Family National Association (BFNA) at least twice a year since 1935, making it the fifth oldest, continuously published family journal in the US.
The Blaisdell Papers document the genealogy, history, news items, accomplishments, births, marriages, anniversaries, deaths and obituaries of Blaisdell family members. These stories are a reflection of our nation’s cultural and genealogical heritage.
Published in June and December, each issue now averages 84 pages (on acid free paper for longer shelf life) with an average of 40 black and white photos per issue. Since 1935 there have been 12 volunteer editors.
The Editor welcomes news articles of Blaisdell family members: accomplishments, recognitions, graduations from high school, college or trade school, baptisms, weddings, historical accounts, memoirs, poems. Send original photos by email attachment in .jpg at 300 dpi or by mail, and they will be scanned and returned to you.
The Blaisdell Papers will be sent to any genealogical library or historical society requesting a subscription. Currently 38 leading genealogical libraries are receiving Blaisdell Papers.
Membership Dues Update: Beginning January 1st, 2023, Subscription to the Blaisdell Papers is $25 per year which automatically conveys BFNA membership to the subscriber. Gift membership is $20 per year.
