Classes of Membership Membership is on an individual basis or, if all family members desire membership, on a family basis. Those joining now and until AAFA determines that all present-day Alfords have had an opportunity to join. Those who join after AAFA closes the Charter Membership period. Those bestowed by the Board of Directors under rare and unusual circumstances.
Dues are the same for all classes, but there are no dues for Honorary Life Members.
Once an AAFA member- always a member. An extensive computer database of information about Alfords maintained at AAFA headquarters. AAFA tries to assist all members in learning more about their Alford forbears. A network of hundreds of Alford researchers, many on-line, willing to exchange information. Through our database, we are able to help Alfords connect with other descendants from the same ancestor.
