The Pennington Research Association (PRA) was founded for the sole purpose of the collection, preservation, maintenance, and dissemination of materials relating to the genealogical structure of the Pennington Family, with an intent to gather all Pennington cousins together, provide genealogical assistance and work together to further Pennington research. Pennington Pedigrees were published twice each year.

In 1970 Volume 2 with 3 issues was published. It didn't take long for us to grow and soon a decision was made to create a formal organization.
