ARE WE RELATED?

The Osmond Family Genealogist and Researcher, Clayton Brough and his wife Ethel, just sent us a copy of our Genealogy Records on a fan shaped layout that my Mother,
Olive Osmond, created years ago.  This chart form is now being used world wide and is being produced by TreeSeek.com.

If you see familiar names think you might be connected, that we might be related, you can go to our website at www.osmond.org and click on Surnames.  If your name starts with the letter T, click on “T”, and all names that we have found beginning with ‘T’ that we have found so far, will show on the screen.  Do the same for other names.

 We are MOST interested in finding all of our relatives.  So if it is not there but you have records of others, including yourself, that might be related, please send it to me at alan@thefamily.com.

Family History or Genealogy is one of the biggest and fastest growing hobbies in the world!

Here is my wife Suzanne Pinegar Osmond’s family, The Pinegars.

the son of God, with whom God, himself, conversed.

Family History Moments: Osmond Family’s Focus

For decades the Osmonds have sung and performed for people around the world. In July 2008, all nine siblings of the famous Osmond family — Virl, Tom, Alan, Wayne, Merrill, Jay, Donny, Marie and Jimmy — performed together with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir during two evenings of Pioneer Day celebrations in the LDS Conference Center. However, even when performing in different parts of the world, this large family has always taken time to focus on families, including trying to locate distant cousins and performing temple work for their deceased ancestors and relatives. 

The Osmonds’ love of family history and temple work was instilled in them when they were young. Their parents, George and Olive Osmond, contributed countless hours toward genealogy and temple work, and involved their children in this “eternal work” as much as possible. As the mother of the world-famous singing family, Olive Osmond was constantly on the go. Yet, wherever she went she was continually answering and sending family history letters, compiling and directing genealogical research work, devising and suggesting new ways to enter family data into computer programs, and constantly encouraging relatives and her worldwide audience to become more involved in genealogy and family history.

As Alan Osmond has said, “My mother taught her children how to do family research, and we published our family history in several magazines and on various websites.” In 2008 the Osmonds traveled around the world on their 50th Anniversary World Tour, and according to Alan, “We would greet the audiences from the stage as,

‘Hi, Cousin! How Are We Related?’”

Alan invites you to see if you’re related!

If one of these top 30 SURNAMES is in your family history, Click it!

If not, click the first letter of your SURNAME!

(Remember, we still may be related. These names are all that we have found so far!)

Donny Osmond has likewise stated, “I inherited the love of genealogy from my mother and have fond memories of doing research with her and sharing our ‘finds’ together. I know that my mother has now been united with those ancestors she became familiar with while doing her genealogy work.”

We wish to give special thanks to Clayton and Ethel Brough who are not only related, but are our family history genealogists and experts! They have spent endless hours in helping us achieve what you see at our website!
