2006 is here and our Executive Director of the Graves Family Association, Ken Graves, is already busy at work organizing the BIG Graves Family Reunion Jun 15-17 2007 in Williamsburg VA to coincide with the 400 year anniversary of the founding of Jamestown, VA of which Captain Thomas Graves was a part. He is also busy with the Graves DNA project. Anyone not a member of the association please consider joining. Go to WWW.GRAVESFA.ORG to find out more or email Ken at ken.graves@gravesfa.org. To learn more about the DNA project which has some new interesting facts about the descendants of CAPT Thomas Graves of Jamestown (or should I say those who thought they were descendants) go to the site and click on DNA project and do some research on what Ken has to say. Also click onto the DNA scholarship site and see the generations who are contributing to the fund and the DNA samples from certain generations. JOIN today and learn more about the GRAVES family. Also, we are asking that as many of you that can contribute something to the DNA analysis project. Ken is $173 in the red for 2006 and since he is a 100% volunteer a $10 or $25 or $100 donation to help fund the tests is appreciated. There is also now a Graves Blog about which the details can be found on the Graves site and sign up for the association newsletter. Happy New Year to each of the cousins. Hope to meet many of you in Virginia in 2007. Ron Graves in Texas GFA Volunteer
