Hi Joe,
The reunion will be July 22-July 24, 2011. The hotel is in Henderson NC and the banquet dinner will be in Warrenton, NC. All Christmases and their families are welcome. The deposit for the reunion is $20 with a balance of $30 due in June. This fee will cover dinner and transportation from Henderson to Warrenton and back.
Do you descend from the Christmas line? I hope you can attend. The more the merrier. I think there are some very interesting stories that we can all share.

I have solid evidence that Mary Christmas married Thomas R. Ray in VA int he early 1600's.
I have shaky evidence that her father was named John.
Connection to DOCTORIS is unproven.
Since I am having company that week, I will not be able to attend the fabulous reunion.
Tanya, could you see if someone could connect Mary to John? to Doctoris. I am sure you are aware that connecting the females of any line to their rightful place sometimes approaches the impossible.
I have been doing genealogy for 40+ years. My roots come via PA, MD and VA exclusively and have I have about 2400 on my pedigree chart.
Other Virginia kin: Brooke & alllied lines, Berry, Hudson, Moore (Alsace-Rhineland not British). Also multiple Quaker
families from the Neck of Va. My grampa Ray mentioned above later connected with the Brasseur-Brashear line.
My great-grandmother was a Boyd of the immigrant grandfather John Boyd
Please elaborate: Warren is in which county and state? Ditto for Warrenton.
The reunion notice must have been emailed before I joined this list. Can you re-send the reunion list.???

Greetings Everyone,
I just wanted to inform everyone that I will be speaking with a reporter on
Monday from the Warren Record. They will be doing a feature story on our
reunion.
The reporter has asked for photos. If anyone has any old photos of some of
the older Christmases from the Doctoris Christmas line, please forward them
to me. She also wanted a photo of the William Christmas that laid out
Warrenton. Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Tanya

Hello Everyone,
We are quickly approaching the date for the reunion. We have about 10
people from Warrenton who will be attending and 20 people from various areas
across the country.
There are many of you who indicated that you wanted to attend but I have not
received a deposit.
Please send your $20 deposit so that all arrangements can be finalized.
I am trying to arrange transportation from the Hotel to Warrenton and I need
to know how many people we have in order to do that.
Thanks and see you all in July!!!

Dear Listers,
ROBERT CHRISTMAS(es)
My City Public Library has a Library subscription to ANCESTRY. Any ratepayer member of the library can
access Ancestry. This library access has played up on occasions. However it really "threw a wobbly" today
for 5 hours ! ! ! (wasted)
2 days ago It gave me ROBERT BORN TO ROBERT AND BARBARA (looks like CLEFE, the scrawl is so hard to decifer) CLEFE
in SURREY in OCTOBER 1600 or 1603 (but I could have read this wrong, it might have been 1606, but I covered a possible 20 year range.
I also printed out the original entry from the Parish Register but the library printer limits output to only a strip of about 12 marriages.
The page from the register did not give the parish at the top, so I intended to scroll back to the first page to get it, when I suddenly
had to leave without it.
I went back today, and went through the same procedure BUT THIS MARRIAGE WAS NOT THERE as were two others. ONE A BAPTISM OF ROBERTt,
SON OF ROBERT AND ALICE on 5 March 1643 in the Parish Church of St Gregory in London and second THE MARRIAGE OF ROBERT & ANNE SYMONS
in 1663 in Surrey.
On the long list over 40 years the other events concerning Robert Christmas (and many other Roberts) were all there in the same order
as 2 days ago but the ones mentioned above had disappeared ! ! ! !
Could I please get help from Listers for THE PARISH OF ROBERT'S & BARBARA'S Robert's marriage and and an answer to: Has anyone else had this
wobbly" and could anyone offer a possible reason for it?
Kind regards,
Ray Christmas in New Zealand
