    When was your last family reunion?

    Probably the last Fourth of July with my family before my folks moved to AZ.

    What family ?

    9 Answers

    One week ago.... Every year we have a reunion of my mother's side of the family on the second Sunday of July and one of my father's side on the second Sunday of August. Also, each year on the Saturday after Thanksgiving day we have my siblings and their family's gathering at a sister's home. 

    1985 or 1986, we had our first and last family reunion at Lake Brownwood.

    I think we've discussed this before. It was in a large building with a stage, am I right. That's where we held the best ones with all the great aunts and uncles and their offspring......

    I do remember this former conversation. We were close to the large building but another family got their dibs on it first.

    Sounds hilariously funny. Can I assume it was not a smashing event. :-).?

    The reunion was organised by grandmother and her two sisters and it included all their children and grand kids etc. My mom and uncle were the only two fighting at the reunion. Our side of the family have not been invited to any reunions since.

    ....Thanksgiving or Christmas

    My ancestors came to the U.S. from the Isle of Wight. That was my maiden name. Every body wants to put an R in that name. Thankfully, the Beatles made everyone aware of the Isle in the song........." When I'm 64...."

    1988, the year my Mother died, last time I saw most of them.

    me too, in 2001

    It was probably about 50 years ago. Too many people who never got along, drank too much, split marriages, kids in trouble, moved far away. You know, the usual tv family.    lol

    About four years ago was the last time at my oldest sisters 80th birthday, unfortunately it will probably be the last for a while,  my other sister had a fall out with her two daughters.  It will probably be at someone's funeral when we all meet up again.

    Sad isn't? Most families seem to have problems getting along.

    Yes it is very sad Ducky, life's too short for long term fall outs.
