The Arnold Family Association of the South was founded by Hazel Arnold MacIvor in the late 1960s. The officers of the newly founded AFAS were Edwin A. Arnold, President; Hazel Arnold MacIvor, Treasurer, Historian-Genalogist; and Ann Arnold Hennings, Secretary. They, along with member Ted Brooke, pooled their Arnold research and published the first Newsletter on 1 August 1970. Membership in AFAS quickly grew, and many members submitted their family history and research for inclusion in the Newsletter. For the first five years, the Newsletters were published quarterly, and thereafter were published annually. Publication of the Newsletters ended when Hazel withdrew as the editor, and the organization soon dissolved.

This USGenWeb Archives Special Collections Project is dedicated to the memory of Hazel Arnold MacIvor, and her lifelong devotion to sharing Arnold genealogical information.

There are almost two thousand pages of material in the Newsletters. There is almost a thousand other pages of information that Hazel had gathered but that had not been published. All of this information will be presented here, and will be added to the collection as it is prepared.

The primary access to specific names and places included in the Newsletters will be through the use of the USGenWeb Archive Search Engine:
