For The Family is a 1983 (see 1983 in music) album by Stan Rogers.

In a departure from his series of regionally-based collections of mostly original compositions on his own Fogarty's Cove label, this album features traditional songs and compositions by members of his family, released on WRDV DJ Tor Jonassen's Folk Tradition label. It is a studio album, with backing performances by stan's brother Garnet Rogers and Jim Morison.

It was released only weeks before Stan's untimely death in an airplane crash.

The album is now issued by Gadfly Records^[1]
