  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
