Fantastic report!! And what a tremendous amount of time and energy you devoted to this memorable occassion, Gayle. The descendancy chart idea was something I had been thinking of developing for our family reunion (we meet every three years) in August. The Ash family (German descent/ESCH) married into the SEBLEY/SHAVE/WAY line and I've been developing material to share August 7-11 in Colorado. One of the projects I'm working on is putting music to the words of a booklet put together c.1954 of songs g-grandfather used to sing. Many American/Irish/Civil War lyrics; but also some typically English songs. Duke University has a wonderful site where you can print American sheet music: <scriptorium.lib.duke.edu/sheetmusic> Anyone know of other sites for musical research?

Hi Jacki, Thankyou for you kind comments. Your idea of putting music to the words of a booklet of lyrics that your g grandfather used to sing for your reunion is a unique idea. I'm sure all who attend will really appreciate seeing the lyrics and even singing some of the songs. The color coded dots I used were actually tiny irredescrent different colored smiley faces. I had six colors, red, blue, bronze, purple, green and yellow. I didn't know what to do about the spouses who were not descendants, so I used the same color dot for them as their related spouse and added an extra yellow smiley face dot on the opposite side of the tag, so the unrelated spouses had two dots on their name tags. I used sheets of business cards to print the name tags and bought plastic covers to put them in that were "pin-ons." It was really fun doing them, and mounting the old family pictures with the corresponding colors to person in the photo representing the ancestral lines present at the reunion. We plan to have a gathering every two years. Donna, I just want to say that I missed you as I was hoping that you'd come and we would get to meet one another. Perhaps another time we will.
