From the earliest days of our history, Kennedys have inspired the
hopes and dreams of countless individuals from around the world who

Join us today! NO Costs- No Dues!
The Kennedy surname is found worldwide from all sorts of backgrounds.
We share a common beginning and so we celebrate the contributions of
these talented and industrious Kennedys and recognize their rich legacy
of ingenuity, creativity, and achievement.
We, Kennedys now have the opportunity and ability to share
with one another our family histories, backgrounds, perils, and dreams. We

awareness of and enhance the knowledge our culture(s).
Join us!
Please, join the Clan Kennedy Association, strengthen the bonds

Share in the communications of Kennedy families from different parts of the world.
Kennedys of Irish, Scottish, and Scots-Irish descent have played
a vital role in shaping our histories and cultures. Nineteen Presidents of the United
States have claimed Irish heritage. One-third to one-half of the American troops
during the American Revolutionary War and 9 of the 56 signers of the Declaration
of Independence were Irish Americans. Irish Americans explored our frontiers, built
many of our Nation's bridges, canals, and railroads, and their proud record of public
service helped to fortify our democracy. Let us remember them all!
Kennedys have made
significant and enduring contributions to our great modern lifestyles and cultures.
The Kennedys of the world helped to transform our
international identities and whose accomplishments reflect the determination,
joy, and hope of world society. The Kennedy faith, perseverance, and spirit has
helped to strengthen our families, our communities, our ideals, and our character.
Today, there are approximately one hundred and thirty known Kennedy
surname varients. Many unaware, from where they come, or even how they got to where
they are.
THEREFORE, I, Clayton D. Cannaday, Acting Chairman of the
Clan Kennedy Association, by virtue of the establishing authority do hereby proclaim
The New "Clan Kennedy Association" (www.ClanKennedy.Org) open for
membership. I call upon
all Kennedys, worldwide to
join the association at no cost.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-eighth
day of September, in the year of our Lord two thousand four.
Clayton D. Cannaday
