The Merriam family lives primarily in North America. The purpose of this website is to track all Merriam / Meriam descendants at least back as far as their 1638 ancestry roots in Concord, Massachusetts and make one giant family tree. Feel free to search for your relatives by entering their names, places, etc. Look for photos, find interesting stories and general Merriam information and check the section "What's New?"

FOR FULL ACCESS, which will enable you to submit your own family tree and suggest corrections, you will need to request a user log in.

For privacy reasons, you will not be able to see details on any living persons, just the names only. And for children under 18 years old, we will show their names as private. However, we are still looking for branch captains to help us maintain the website and branch captains will be able to see all the details on their particular branch.

You can download reports directly to your home computer, using the universally accepted (and free), pdf file format. Don't be afraid to experiment! You can't hurt our website by clicking on the wrong thing – just click away and see if you can figure out the powerful features of the database.

We just completed a major upgrade which includes all the Merriam descendants and related family which are listed in the Pope book, Merriam Genealogy in England and America, through the 9th generation on page 414. Plus, we have added thousands of family to continue where Mr. Pope left off. Please give us any corrections or additions, no matter how large or small.

If you have any comments or suggestions at all, please click on the contact us icon and send us a message. We would love to hear from you!

This book was reprinted by John Merriam Kingsbury of Bullbrier Press (click on icon above for more information).

feature 3 How To Submit Photos: When you submit photos, we will assign them to a person’s record on the website and you can also browse through all photos in the media section.

We request photos in jpg (Jpeg) format that are no larger than 400kb in file size.  We can re-format and re-size if photos are larger or in a different format. You may submit up to two color and four grayscale (black and white) photographs per individual. We prefer to receive digital copies of photographs by e-mail, and these can be sent to Steve Merriam, Media Administrator, at sfmerriam@merriamfamilytree.org .
