Reunion 2010!

Join us for our Fairbanks In The West Family Reunion! Click here for more details! Our big news for the reunion is the raffle we will be holding to raise money for the restoration of the Fairbanks House at This Is The Place Heritage Park in Salt Lake City. So get your family's thinking caps on to come up with something you can donate for the raffle. We are looking for high-quality items such as baked goods, art, quilts, services, and more! Send us an email telling us about the item(s) you will be able to bring so we can set up enough tables!

Autographs Requested

If you have an autograph of an ancestor or family member that could be added to the website, please scan it and send us a copy. We can add it to an individual's page under their name. Click on John Boylston Fairbanks' photo above to see an example.

Welcome!

The Fairbanks Family in the West is an organization begun in 1907 to honor family members who traveled west in the Mormon pioneer migration. The pioneer stories told here reflect the determination, courage, faith, and inspiration necessary to embark on such a journey.

Today we can emulate and learn from our ancestors as we forge trails of honesty, integrity and perseverance for our posterity to follow. Anyone who has an interest in the Fairbanks Family and the contributions they made in settling the West is invited to join our organization. This is the official source of the Fairbanks Family in the West, sponsored by the family organization.

The photos above are of four children of Joseph and Mary Polly (Brooks) Fairbanks who went West. It is their descendants that we are trying to locate and include in the family tree database.


Let us remember those who lived before us.
Who lived, and worked, and prayed, and sang,
and built long before we were born.
We sometimes think that everything begins with us.
But, we drink from wells that we did not find.
We eat food from farmlands we did not develop.
We worship in churches we did not organize or build.
We enjoy freedoms we take for granted.
We should be grateful for our rich heritage, and turn our minds in
grateful appreciation to those who lived before, and under
vastly different circumstances, so that we can live a better life today.

And let us live so that our posterity may have a better life tomorrow.
