[or-roots] Reunions

[Harguess, Dale]

My family, the Hoskins have been holding a reunion non-stop since 1944.
The woman who started it finally passed away last year so she couldn't
attend.  She was 100 years and 2 months old and has the biggest
genealogy collection on the family I have ever seen.  They hold the
reunion the last Saturday in June and it has alternated between Walla
Walla Wash. and Milton Freewater Oregon over the years.  A lot of the
family still lives in Umatilla and Morrow counties.  So I think at 62
years we might hold the record for continuous reunions.

There was an interesting article in the Tuesday August 15, 2006
Oregonian, Food Section, about an Italian/American family that has been
doing family reunions for the last fifty years.

 

I wonder how many other Families are doing reunions that we never here
about and what a great opportunity this would be to promote Genealogy
and the resources we have to those who may not be aware of us.

 

Over the last couple of years I have heard a lot of individuals looking
for individuals and just as many others willing to help.  But I have not
heard of many family reunions.

 

To this end I propose opening up this forum to the discussion of Family
Reunions.  The ups and downs, the ins and the outs, the successes and
failure

 

Any takers
