The Spade Family in America

Thank you for visiting the "Spade Family in America" Web Site. The purpose of this site is to provide a place for Spade family members to contact each other for the purpose of sharing our family history and photographs. Please be patient while the photos are loading. We have tried to include a large number of family photos, and it may take some time for them to load and appear on your screen. If you have additional or clearer photographs (or the technology to make the images here clearer), please share them with us. We have much more historical information, anecdotes, family legends and more photographs than we are able to display here.



Always Being Updated!


We will continue to update this web site with additional information as our research continues and more family members contribute photos, family trees, newspaper articles, obituaries, etc., so please bookmark this site and add it to your "Favorites" on your browser. The first "Descendants of Anton & Rosina Spade" Spade family reunion in several generations was held July 23-24, 2005 in Pennsylvania and was a huge success (see link below). Over Saturday and Sunday, we had over 400 people attend. We also had a reunion in 2007. The next reunion is planned for July 18 & 19, 2009 in Crystal Spring, PA, and we would like to invite you! (See link below). Spade Reunion updates will be emailed to those people who sign our Guestbook. Please send Sylvia Spade-Kershaw an email at txauthor@yahoo.com with a home address for others who would want to be invited, but who may not use email.
