This Memorial Day Weekend, as it’s traditionally held, my McNair branch of the family is having their 40th Annual Reunion. Started in 1972, I am amazed and proud of its longevity! I’ve not yet been to one, but my maternal grandmother, Alice McNair Robinson, used to go often and has shared with me details about her family that helped inspire my love of genealogy.
In preparation for the reunion this year, at the request of a cousin, I compiled a booklet of the family tree information I currently have for the McNair family. The reunion is for the descendants of Rufus & Mariah McNair, so the booklet lists each of the branches of their children (10 who are known to have offspring).
This is the front cover I made.
For now, the booklet is purely a list of names. Next year, I hope to be able to include pictures of at least the generation of the grandkids of Rufus & Mariah. I am honored to have met at least one – my 2nd great-aunt Martha. Aunt Martha is doing well and is attending the reunion herself this year!
I am looking forward to the feedback from this weekend and the chance to further update and make our family tree even better. To my McNair Family – enjoy and if you aren’t going, please consider sharing what you know so that we can preserve these memories for our own descendants.
Love the colorful cover, and the call for help on descendants of the children you don’t yet have info on at this point.
thanks Myrt!
Thanks for all your hard work on our family history.
