Family Reunion

We just had a long overdue family reunion. I learned so much about Dad's side of the family. I suppose this feat wasn't that difficult because I really didn't know anything. We traced back our roots to Ireland, Scotland, England, and Quebec. -I'm not sure where they migrated to Quebec from. I've had relatives on this continent as early as 1758. My great great grandpa came down from Quebec and started farming. He had a large family and we have dispersed all across the US.

It was very interesting seeing all the faces at the reunion some where familiar, but most where not. Many have lived near me my whole life, but I hardly know them. Most interesting is that I currently am living within 10 miles of a relative I never knew existed on my dad's side, who married a man who is likely related to my mom's side of the family.

I had a good time learning about my heritage. The food was great, and you should have seen some of the old pictures that people brought! Some where so old they where printed on tin. My mother brought several pictures that my grandpa had from his aunt. Many of these photos we are not sure who exactly they are, but they are definantly relations! Hopefully, we can figure out who they are.

Anyway, family history is interesting, attend the reunions!
