[or-roots] 45th Annual Gerking Family Reunion

[Beth Perry Johnston]

The GERKING Family Reunion Group will hold its 45th Annual Reunion August 
7th and 8th, 2004 at Sunnyside County Park near Sweet Home, Oregon.

The reunion is for descendants of John GERKING and related families. John 
GERKING was born 27 AUG 1764 and married Rachael RICE in Jefferson Co., KY. 
They had 12 children, all of whom were born in Jefferson Co., KY. Members 
of the family moved to Indiana and other midwest states before many of them 
headed to Missouri, then moved on to other western points, particularly the 
Northwest. Some variations of the surname include GERKIN, GERKEN, GURKIN, 
GHERKIN.

For information about the reunion, please follow the reunion link at 
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~athena/ or email me at the address 
below my name.

This information will be going out over the next few days to all family 
members for whom we have valid email or snail mail addresses; however, 
please feel free to share this message with anyone you think may be interested.

Best wishes to all,
Beth Perry Johnston
