The Kin of Rock and Roll was founded in 2006.

So many businesse, organizations, and events thrive today, including EPE, because of one special man. Many of these same ventures thank Elvis in different ways, most by giving to certain charities. The Kin of Rock and Roll chose to honor Elvis, and the ancestors he never knew , with a tribute involving teaching the truth in history and the preservation of history, once Elvis' favorite subject. The Civil War having been a favorite topic in history, it stands to reason why Elvis, himself an historic figure, easily ties into the topics having to do with Americanhistory. Kin founder, Barbara Lee Rowe, had a mission in mind based upon the family's kinship to Elvis Presley, to pay tribute in a special way to such special people as Elvis and the kinfolk! When the website was created, Barbara Lee had in mind to gather up family to share in the celebration of the Presley family history and, thus far, many family members have participated in this loving tribute.

For Barbara Lee, the mission became clear when she thought of how Elvis had brought so much happiness to so many people the world over, and that it was time for a request of his to be fulfilled-- the request to know who his ancestors were. Barbara Lee thought it would be a good idea to devote a site that would bring together Presley kin in memory of Elvis and our ancestors and one of the more rewarding objectives of the website is to be able to bring the ancestral family " back to the fold;" to bring all the cousins together, in a way even Elvis would have understood and appreciated.
It has been a joy to welcome them on board along with their contributions that go a long way to making this site the wonderful success it has become. Thank you to all!

On our website we will continue to remember the heroes of history, including those in our family who have contributed to the country and helped make us what we are today.

One final note, the site in it's earliest forms maintained a defense for the memory of Elvis Presley and his reputation. While we shall continue to defend Elvis and his legacy, we will not continue to carry the pages that deal with the aggravations of the people and incidents in the "Elvis World" who, no matter what is said here, will continue to reek havoc. It is best to ignore them and to understand that no one will ever bring Elvis out--or down--because, simply, he is no longer with us. Keep Elvis in your heart, but let him go in peace. He deserves at least that much. He gave enough. End of story. The story begins now with the fond memories and the truthful insights to our family histories.

If you have any questions about the family history, or in general, please contact The Kin of Rock and Roll and we will respond to you directly. For now, please visit our webpages and-- enjoy!
