How to join VFA

Our last post explained how you can determine if you are a member already. So what if you checked and found you are not? Joining is easy, and here we’ll explain how.

You are eligible to join the Violette Family Association if you are a descendant of Francois Violet/Violette. You can show you are a descendant by giving your RIN (genealogical Record Identification Number) which can be found (if you don’t know it) by doing a lookup at VioletteRegistry.com/FamilyTree. If you aren’t in the Violette Registry and think you should be, contact our Genealogist, Rod Violette (VFA#12) and provide your family information so he can add you to the Family Tree. His contact info is in the footer of this and every page.

Joining the Violette Family Association is important so you can stay in touch with our family group and what the Association is up to. Members receive periodic eNews on topics of Violette interest. We also publish an irregular newsletter sent to members. As a member of the Violette Family Association you show your support for the family and the Association. There is no cost to join.

There are two ways to join: online or by form.

Membership Application

Go to VioletteRegistry.com/membership/membership-application/ and follow instructions there. There is a downloadable form in PDF format that provides all the information we need. This is especially helpful for relatives who do not have Internet access or who do not use a computer easily. Someone can download and print the form for them and they can send it in to Rod Violette.

Online Application

Go to VioletteRegistry.com/membership/joinvfa/. You just need to provide your first name, last name, RIN, and email address in the form provided. Clicking the Apply button will start the process. We will be notified of your application by email and one of us will review it and either approve it or contact you for more information or clarification. You will hear back by email with your VFA number and sign in credentials.
