Subject: 4 weeks until--7th Annual Norwood Reunion
Date: Fri, 01 Apr 2005 13:54:52 -0500


This reunion is different than any other reunion I attend.
We are both family and genealogy oriented. Some people
come just to hook up with other relatives with the same
interests.

I am a Norwood, Watkins, Claggett, Moxley, Mullinix,
Beall, Lewis, Shipley, Barnes, and several others. I have
met relatives from each of these familes at the reunion.
Last year I met a 3rd Cousin from my Watkins family. The
next day I was at his house sharing more information.
This is a fun reunion without games or auctions. Just
good talk and information sharing.

We will have Doris Day, a Norwood Cousin, doing a spinning
demonstration.

We will have a digital camera, lap top computer, and
scanner.
We would like the old photos of individuals or group
family photos and some present day ones also especially if
they can't attend. Obits, wedding, birth or death
announcements are also very important for filing in the
ieces. Do you have a pile of unidentified pictures? Bring
them along too. Maybe we can find family resemblances!

We are adding 5 new VERY LARGE (3’ x 30’ each) charts to
the one of last year with even more known descendents of
Capt. John Norwood. CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT THAT MANY NAMES
LOOK LIKE!

Our Norwood genealogists have added thousands of names and
information since last year.
