Shelley, My cousin, Mike that is heading up my Mom's family reunion now and I have started this year with a scrapbook of sorts that will have stories of the family special recipes from the reunions past and present and how we remember our Grandparents and Great-grandparents. Our reunions are held in August and we are hoping to get started this year in putting together our scrapbook. Mike is putting all our family pictures on CD's and we are going to work up a family webpage in the future. I was telling a cousin about how much fun I had spending the night at my Great-grandmothers house in east Texas and how she and I slept on a feather mattress with big down comforts and he said he never spent the night with her. It hurt me so until I realized he had gone hunting with my Granddaddy and had my Granddaddy gun, so we sort of traded out experiences growing up. We can learn so much about our family just from the memories each of us have. Keep me informed on how things go and I sure hope you have great luck with it. Dot in Texas > hey gang. I had an idea a few weeks ago to send out to all the 'elders' of my > family aunts and uncles and so on, to all write down stories from their > childhood as well as stuff about our grandparents as far back as they could > remember. So far I have collected several different groups of stories and I'm > going to put them all together with our family tree and distribute them at our > next family reunion. I guess I did this cuz I'm tired of only getting 'the cold > hard facts' birth dates, marriage dates etc. It was nice to throw in some > stories with everything else. Some living memories. I also had them give me the > full names and birth info on each of their 'branches'. I just thought I'd share > this with ya'll. > Shelly > > > ==== OKGEN Mailing List ==== > Accidentally unsubscribed from the OKGenWeb list? Simply resubscribe.
