Welcome to the website of the National Association of Leavitt Families
"If your name is Leavitt or one of your ancestors was named Leavitt, you are very probably a descendant of John Leavitt of Hingham or Thomas Leavitt of Hampton"
CAN YOU IDENTIFY THE PEOPLE IN THE ABOVE PHOTO? Let us know. This was from the 1935 NALF Reunion in Hingham Centre, Massachusetts.
“There are three types of people in this world:
The Leavitts, people who marry Leavitts, and people who wish they were Leavitts.”
So says Richard Franklin Leavitt of Maine (1939-2018, Israel Leavitt line.)
The Leavitts, people who marry Leavitts, and people who wish they were Leavitts.”
So says Richard Franklin Leavitt of Maine (1939-2018, Israel Leavitt line.)
The National Association of Leavitt Families, Inc. is an organization formed in 1934 with the objective of promoting acquaintance and good fellowship among the living descendants of immigrant John Leavitt, who settled in the section of the New England Colonies now known as Hingham, MA in 1636; and immigrant Thomas Leavitt, who settled in the section now known as Hampton, NH in 1639; and to establish such memorials to their name and memory as may be most appropriate.
