Dunham-Singletary Family Connections Board of Directors
  
After many years, Gratia Dunham Mahoney's hard work paid off in finding the father of Deacon John Dunham. Her tireless research and dedication knocked down a brick wall that stood for over a century. The costs of this research were supported by this organization. We had to pay for consultants and for records searches in England. Thanks to Gratia and our investment - We now know that Deacon John Dunham is the son of Richard Dunham of Bedfordshire/Hertfordshire. My deepest thanks to Gratia and to all of you for your support.

Proposed Amendment to the DUNHAM/SINGLETARY FAMILY CONNECTIONS By-Laws:

During our 2017 annual board meeting, the board members discussed using a different name to represent our organization. The reasons behind this are three fold.

1. To better describe “what we are” and “who we are”. It was thought that having “genealogy” and “research” in the name would immediately help people understand what we do.

2. In this day and age everything is found via an internet search engine; with the current name interested Dunhams might find it difficult to find our website and our facebook page. The most common search phrase might be “Dunham Genealogy” – using this criteria our search ranking are low on both google and bing. Note that this will vary between users as they both cache previous searches for a given user.

3. It is relatively easy to do. We are incorporated in the state of Montana, where we simply need to file a form with that state showing we are “doing business as” (DBA) to operate under a name different from the name which we used to incorporate.

The board converged on the name “Dunham Genealogy Research Association”. The board voted and approved the change, it will then be presented to the membership for their approval.

An Announcement letter has been emailed on 4 August 2017 to the DSFC Membership and the Ballot to vote on the Amendment will be emailed on 15 August 2017.

Complete Information on the Proposed Amendment can be found Here. Here.
