There is a newly formed Mefford Family Genealogy Forum which is an automated query system, where responses form threads. A combination query page and bulletin board. This is part of the GenForum website, a collection of over 8000 forums, mostly genealogy. If you don't see a surname among those listed, you can request one. If you don't see your folks among our family, try posting to the Mefford forum.

Mefford Memories Newsletter
Mefford Memories Newsletter, published by Pat Morrison is not on a website yet, and don't know if there are any plans in that direction, but you can reach her by e-mail at mystique@interl.net. This is a great resource for all Mefford's. Besides interesting articles, with references, and some issues with photos, there is also the chance to connect with relatives and extend lines. I have only been a subscriber for one issue and have already "met" a couple of cousins by mail. We each had information to fill in the other's lines.
