Though our quarterly meeting stressed historic study of 17th century America, probably our best session was held in May, 1952, when we were honored by interesting talks given by the Registrar General, MRS. FRENCH B. HARRINGTON, and the California President, MRS. EARLE P. McKELLAR. Important work for the chapter has been done by the energetic committee chairman -

GREETINGS

 

To each member of the California Society of Colonial Dames of the Seventeenth Century, I extend cordial and affectionate greeting:

 

The National Society is in the first year of a new administration with renewed enthusiasm and a great ambition to further the work of the society on an ever increasing scale.

 

The co-operation and loyalty of each State Society will be a big factor in promoting our outstanding accomplishments, and if every member of each State Society will catch the stalward spirit of our ancestors and share in the task, each feeling it her duty to do her bit, we shall build our beloved Society into greater influence for the betterment of mankind wherever our organization is found.

 

Let us make these three years banner years. Let us emphasize new members and new chapters, for in numbers there is strength and greater opportunity to achieve our goals.

 

My sincere wish is for the continued success of the California Society and its chapters.

 

 

 

Affectionately

     Julia Forbes Thornton,

     President General

 

 

 

 

It was a privilege to bring together fifty wonderful women and form the California State Society of the Colonial Dames of the Seventeenth Century. Being an historian by birth and training, (I seem to have been born with a love of history, the same as my love for music) early Colonial history was emphasized, during my three years as your State President.

 

We have traced our ancestry from history, which is the recording of names of persons and what they contribute to the age in which they live, we then term that we have pieced together, genealogy. To build and leave behind in files only complete and accurate records has been the consuming desire of your organizing State President, and now that I am your Registrar General, the need for such a file is more evident than ever. Only endless hours of research aided by such persons as our state registrar, Mrs. Meinard A. Schur will make this possible.

 

RESEARCH:

 

“To weave together the fading dates of an old manuscript - with traditions that have survived the sleeping generations, until the joy and the tears, the quaint speech, and the early piety stand out upon the tapestry in the semblance of a living man gives a pleasure which only one who has stood at the loom can feel and understand.”

 

RESEARCH, genealogy if you please, furnishes the charm and rich experience described by the person who penned the above paragraph. As we delve into the history of our country, we find untold stories of brave deeds and sacrifices, many tales rich in romance and pathos, many are fascinating and adsorbing. To search for records which when pieced together will allow someone to join this great organization is most interesting. The unfailing loyalty with which our men and women have served their country is most inspiring. One begins such a task as this with hesitancy but relinquishes it with sadness and reluctance.

 

I dedicate these lines to Virginia Baines Schur, whose efforts have made possible this fine lineage book, which we will all treasure.

 

 

 

Marye Shannon Harrington

Registrar General

 

 

 

To the members of the California State Society Colonial Dames of the XVII Century.

 

Greetings:

 

Congratulations to the California Society in the preparation of Lineage Book No 1. May this be the first book in the series of a continuously growing State Society.

 

We are all proud of the Colonial Ancestors whose services made our membership possible. Could they see their descendants as they work to make the land They founded, a better place in which to live, I know They would be proud of us.

 

It is a privilege to be allowed to become a member of the Colonial Dames of the XVII Century let us ever hold that membership in highest regard.

 

 

 

Affectionately,

Mrs. Earle Preston Mc Kellar

President, California State Society

Colonial Dames of the XVII Century.
