The Official George Q. Cannon Family History Collection
This is the Official George Q. Cannon Family History Website. While this site is still in it's infancy, our hope is to build it into a well organized, comprehensive resource that you can use to find the information you are looking for ranging from photos, journals, letters, and pedigree charts to contact information for the family association committee members and other family representatives to information on news, upcoming events and reunions. The George (the immigrant) Cannon Family Association leadership was reorganized on Feb. 28, 2004. Several goals and priorities are actively being accomplished including plans for upcoming reunions, etc. Click here to sign up for a periodical family newsletter sent via email. The family email mailing list will not be shared or used for any other purpose.
