It was great to see everyone at our first meeting back after the summer break….a few new people and lots of questions. It’s amazing watching everyone help each other. We had someone bring some Paw Paw fruit to our potluck. I always wanted to try it, and never knew where to get it. It’s a fruit that used to be very common in America, and was always eaten by the Indigenous people, but has gradually disappeared because it can’t be used commercially. It can’t be picked and sit on store shelves. It has to be eaten when picked. There have been efforts to plant more wild Paw Paw trees in order that they don’t go extinct. It was a great experience. Thank you Charlie and Norma.

Does anyone know a Buddy Thomas, son of George Thomas? Someone is trying to locate him.
Thank you

The summer has gone by all too quickly, and our meetings are starting up again. Our first meeting and potluck is Sept 13, 1-4pm. I know I had told people we would be meeting at the Woodland Centre, but they have developed a roof leak and our room won’t be available until repairs have been completed. Hopefully they will be done by our October meeting date. So, for September’s meeting we will be at the Dajoh, in our old room, 1738 Fourth Line Road Ohsweken. Looking forward to seeing everyone again.

What a great turnout and what a great meeting, today. There were some fascinating family stories and we all learned some new history. The success of our group is amazing. We are steadily growing. We always wanted to “bring our people home”. It seems to be working. Thanks to everyone for your knowledge, and for your willingness to share it. Have a great summer and see everyone in September. ❤️❤️❤️

Our final meeting and potluck before we break for summer is this coming Saturday, June 14, at the Dajoh. Bring all your questions and family trees to share. If you have some stories to share for our next years Family Reunion of Family You Never Knew You Had, I will gladly be collecting them too. See everyone then.
