Eller Family Association

The purpose of the Eller Family Association is to draw all Ellers, regardless of their particular family line, and allied families into a cooperative effort. We owe it to the present generation and those of the future, this effort to come together, explore and record our common roots and heritage.

The EFA has already demonstrated that this approach is the quickest and most efficient mechanism for sharing family history and genealogical information. The EFA exists to assist all Eller and associated family lines worldwide to:

Discover and preserve our historical past
Report current events and ongoing contributions
Develop and expand current family ties
Provide ongoing biennial meetings to summarize accomplishments
Socialize and provide inspired direction as we focus on the future.

2011 Biennial Conference

We had a good crowd at the Eller Family Conference in Chattanooga. It is always good to see family and distant cousins, meet up with new ones and try to figure out how we’re all connected.

Please plan to come to the next EFA reunion in July of 2013 which is slated to be held in Richmond, VA. [Pictures]

Can You Help Identify?

Our new Eller Family Association member Ken Michel says he got the photo from his Grandmother Octa (Eller) Michel but, he says, she was too old to remember much about it. He believes the gentleman on the lower left is William Holiday Eller. [More Information / Larger Photo]
