| The doors to the church fellowship hall will be open at 09:00AM for our 64th DeWitt Reunion that begins at 09:00AM in a nice air conditioned building (featuring a full kitchen and bathrooms) with plenty of tables and chairs. Come early to help set-up and meet and greet and please see Patti to verify your information - SIGN the Check-in log. Please urge all of your family members to attend this reunion. Our annual covered dish dinner will follow "Stories of the DeWitt Family History", a short meeting and prizes. It is requested that you bring your favorite dishes to share with others. The attendance for this great Family Reunion has been declining for the last several years and it is hoped that everyone will encourage the entire family including children and grandchildren to attend. If you have other media contacts such as Facebook ETC, feel free to notify all of your kin about this reunion. With your help, we can make the 64th Reunion a grand time!! Note: please consider staying after the meal for visiting and clean up. It is requested that you bring any old family history (Bibles, photos, etc) to share with others. Patti and I are always looking for missing or correcting genealogical information concerning the "Family". If anyone knows of a birth, death, marriage or address change in your families, please let us know so we can keep the records up to date. Our only updates for deaths, marriages, births, ETC, are from you, the family member as we may not have sources for your area. We will not give out Any living person's personal information (birth dates, places of birth etc) that we share with others, however this information is needed for our records. Remember, the majority of this "private" information is made public after approximately 75 years. We will be happy to share our info with you for your family, but not an entire download. We answer all E-Mail requests concerning the family. Contact us at: Fred@fredandpatti.com or Patti@fredandpatti.com Two family members have completed the DNA testing for further Genealogy research - one for the DeWitt Family and one for the Sanders family. If any one else is interested in this project or have completed the tests, please contact us. See you there. . . . . |
| Genealogy - what is it? From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Genealogy (from Greek: γενεά, genea, "generation"; and λόγος, logos, "knowledge") is the study of families and the tracing of their lineages and history. Genealogists use oral traditions, historical records, genetic analysis, and other records to obtain information about a family and to demonstrate kinship and pedigrees of its members. The results are often displayed in charts or written as narratives. The pursuit of family history tends to be shaped by several motivations, including the desire to carve out a place for one's family in the larger historical picture, a sense of responsibility to preserve the past for future generations, and a sense of self-satisfaction in accurate storytelling. Some scholars[who?] differentiate between genealogy and family history, limiting genealogy to an account of kinship, while using "family history" to denote the provision of additional details about lives and historical context. Historically, in Western societies the focus of genealogy was on the kinship and descent of rulers and nobles, often arguing or demonstrating the legitimacy of claims to wealth and power. The term often overlapped with heraldry, in which the ancestry of royalty was reflected in their coats of arms." |
