This week in Amy Johnson Crow’s 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks, the prompt is “Reunion”.
I have only been to 2 family reunions growing up. The Chislett and the Absalom families.
The Chislett family reunion took place in 7 March 1982 at the Allansford Recreation Reserve. The Chislett Story, was written before the reunion.
The Absalom family reunion took place on 25 November 1981-82 in Mortlake, Victoria, Australia. I know that after the Absalom reunion my great grandfather, William, decided to write a book about the family after having been asked many questions.
Unfortunately I do not remember much about either reunion, as I was only about 10 years old and I just spent the day hanging out with my cousins, having fun.
I have both books in my possession which has given me a lot of information to help me with my genealogical research.
