2007 family Reunion will be on Sept. 2, 2007

This years Henry Asa Herring Annual Family Reunion will be held as usual on the Sunday before Labor Day. This year it will be on Sunday September 2, 2007. All family members are invited. It is potluck, so bring food and your own paper plates, cutlery, and soft drinks. It will be held as usual at Sondra and Bruce Bigley's house. For more information contact me or any family member who has been coming to the reunions for the last 12 years.

We had 37 people sign the guest list last year. If you can't come to the reunion, you now have the option of leaving a comment attached to this posting telling everyone who you are, and how much you appreciate the family members who have kept this annual family reunion going for the last 60+ years. We would like to hear from you even if you can't come in person.

Welcome to our Family Online Reunion

I have created this weblog to provide a place online for any family members who want to use it, where they can provide comments and view postings about the family, even if they cannot come to our Annual Family Reunions. I hope that it will be used by all of the descendants of the Henry Asa Herring Extended Family which also includes the descendants of the parents and siblings of Henry Asa Herring; his first wife, Amanda E. Graves; and his second wife, Ida Alice Whitcomb.

Use this weblog as a place to quickly and publicly share information about the family with all of the other family members. It should also be a place for those family members who do come to the family reunions to get aquainted with other family members who can't always come to the family reunions. and to make contact with other family members who live at a distance from each other, but also make contact with family members who they may never meet, and whose only reason for being in contact or being interested in each other is that we are all related to one another by birth or marriage.
