COMING TO JAMESTOWN:
YOUR FAMILY’S STORY

For our 100th anniversary, the JHS is collecting the histories of how and when people and/or their families first came to Jamestown. And what has happened since.
• Who in your family first came to Jamestown? When? Where from? Why? What did they do once they got here?
• What is the extent of the family (parents, siblings, cousins, etc.) presence in Jamestown?
• How many generations? How long did they stay? 
• Are they still here? If they left, why did they? Where did they go?
 
THE MORE DETAILS YOU CAN PROVIDE THE BETTER.
E-mail your family’s story to sdmaden@aol.com or 
mail it to Jamestown Historical Society, PO Box 156, Jamestown, RI 02835 or 
call Sue Maden at 401-423-2167. 
Please include contact information, such as email, street address, phone number. 

Photos of families with individuals identified by name and/or family relationship would be appreciated. All information will be added to the JHS collection.
