Researching Family Reunions

• • Reunions were big around the turn of the previous century

• • Frequently mentioned in local newspapers — look for lists of guests (a good place for clues to women’s married names)

• Many were structured, with annual minutes and scrapbooks.  Look in local libraries, museums. I found one digitized on FamilySearch.org
