Hello Janet,
The Reafsnyder family tree that I have starts with John Reafsnyder and his wife Mary Ann
Wagoner. They come from Ottawa County, Kansas. Ralph married my grandfather's sister,
Iona (known by my father as "Aunt Iny"). John and Mary Ann, their son Ralph and
his wife, Iona, are buried in the Hall Cemetery, Ottawa County, Kansas.
Ralph and Iona had 3 sons, Guy, Ray and Wayne. These 3 brothers all found their way to
California, where they raised their families in the Garden Grove area in Orange County.
Ray had one child, a daughter, Donna, who married Delos Summers.
Every October, there is a McDonald-Reafsnyder picnic. You can meet the Reafsnyders who are
still in California. There is also a family reunion in Kansas every year that the
Reafsnyder's attend, but that part of the family is not related to the McDonald's,
so I don't know much about that.
Lola Mae (Reafsnyder) Pecor has put together a pamphlet on the Reafsnyders. If you want, I
can create a GEDCOM or other format of the family tree, and send it to you.
Regards,
Dave McDonald
