The next Geer Family Reunion will be held in Ledyard, CT July 2026

Geer Family Association (GFA) is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to advancing & preserving the genealogy of George Geer (b. circa 1621) & Thomas Geer (b. 1623), brothers, who at age 14 & 12, were put on a British ship by their uncle who asked that they be dropped off halfway out so they wouldn't inherit their father's estate. The boys fortuitously disembarked in Boston, thrived in Colonial America, & today have thousands of descendants in the USA & Canada. Through its newsletters, Facebook Group, Triennial Reunions, & this website, GFA encourages George & Thomas Geer descendants to connect!
