You are welcome here. All of us are from diverse backgrounds and interests, but we share common goals – we want to find out more about the Cloud family heritage, we want to preserve that heritage and we want to make it available to all of our family.

If you are interested in learning about the Cloud family or want your children to know about their ancestry, if you want to meet people from different family branches, we would like to meet you – Join us.

We celebrated our 40th anniversary in 2018 and we’re going strong. We have reunions (Gatherings), provide on-line resources and publish a quarterly Journal.

Members receive the CFA Journal and Gatherings/Reunions are held where you can meet your close and distant family and enjoy the activities and speakers available for you there.

There are many on-line resources available for people interested in the Cloud family. We have a Facebook page where you can share with others and the Cloud family was one of the first to participate in genealogy on the internet, and its email forum and bulletin board were one of the first at rootsweb (previously at Maiser at Indiana University).

Ernest was the son of William Reese Cloud (b. 1859), the son of Harlan Cloud (b. 1807), the son of Joseph Cloud (b. abt 1754). Some confusion as to Joseph's parents.
