Pat, Amy has been one of my unknowns also, potentially in the line of the pioneer George Nicholas Brant that I study. An Amy Brant appears in the 1830 Md census and there is an Alco marriage of (another unknown) George Brant to Amy Tracey in 1820. She may have been his widow. In general, I have found that many of my unknown Alco Brant marriages are descendants of pioneer John Brant of Somerset County ~1790. (This family is well documented in a book by Dr. Cobern [sp. ?], and Amy may be in there.) Those living in the southern part of that county apparently found it closer and easier to do business in Cumberland rather than Somerset. A similar situation occurred with respect to Bedford County where my patriarch George lived in Cumberland Valley Township and most of his descendants were associated with Cumberland and Alco rather than Bedford.

Planned "fringes" for a family reunion include a family book, a CD, a t-shirt and a meal (not a covered dish). Is it proper to ask for a donation or state a price to come to a reunion in order to defray the cost of these perks? How is that worded on the invitation? What do others do when it comes to covering reunion expenses?
