The Blaisdell Papers
The Blaisdell Papers have been published by the BFNA at least twice a year since 1935, making it the fifth oldest continuously published family journal in the US. Published in June and December, each issue now averages 84 pages on acid-free paper with an average of 40 black and white photos per issue.
The Papers document the genealogy, history, news items, accomplishments, births, marriages, anniversaries, deaths and obituaries of Blaisdell family members. The Blaisdell Papers are also sent to 38 leading genealogical libraries. Since 1935 there have been 12 volunteer editors.
BFNA Endowment Fund
For those who cannot afford an annual BFNA membership, the Association will send the Blaisdell Papers at no cost as long as funds allow. Donations to the Endowment Fund enable us to help those with more limited resources.
