Hello All,
It is getting close to the time for our Family Reunion and Genealogy Get
Together. If you think you can come please let me know so that my sister and I
will have enough drinks etc. I just got here in Richmond and the weather is
really starting to warm up nicely. If anyone wants me to do any look ups before
they get here give me as much information as you can and I will do my best to
find the information that you want. I also have a digital camera and am
willing to take pictures of gravemarkers, homes or anything else that you want.
Let me know what pictures you want and I'll have them ready for you when you
get here.
Our ancestors used to have very large reunions in Richmond, Wayne County,
Indiana. From the time that David Hoover founded Richmond, Wayne Co., Indiana
in 1806, his father Andrew Hoover along with other family members held very
large family reunions. Now it is our turn. My sister Marcia and I are
organizing the event. We have reserved a small building (with tables, chairs, and
power) and a picnic pavilion, located in Glen Miller Park. Bring your laptops
and exchange data with others. We will also have a computer, printer and
scanner. Since we are opening this up to anyone, but in particular the following
surnames: SLOAN, BROWN, HOOVER, DILL, GILLESPIE, MURPHY, DEARDORFF, CASKEY,
and BUSH, we are hoping to have a good turn out. Their will be a "bring your
own food" picnic at the pavilion. There is both a Meijer and Wal-Mart’s
deli where picnic style food may be purchased. There is an outdoor grill pit and
we will provide the charcoal. Paper ware, flatware, bottled water, pop and
coffee will be provided. Please RSVP so that we have a headcount for planning
purposes.
