Family Tree

Hi Family,
I'm working with Uncle Budd, Aunt Donna and Laura to put together a diagram of our family tree to share on the blog. The diagram will only include names and dates of birth/death. This way, we can all see where we 'fit' in the family.

So, if you haven't already done so, please make sure you've sent Laura your family page.

Sample:

Family Name:

Parents: (name and date of birth)

Children: (name and date of birth)

Address:

Hello from Joyce and Bill Brockway

Thanks Sarah, what a great job. The reunion was great and our Granddaughter Lilly has not stopped asking when the next one will be

Thanks Sarah!

Hi all,
Gary and I, as well as the boys were sorry we couldn't be with you this year. We will mark the first week-end in June for next year for sure.
It was wonderful to see all of you via Sarah's great pictures. We are so glad that you had such a great day.
Wishing you all a wonderful summer.

Welcome to the Brockway Family Page!

Welcome Family!!!!

I'm sure you will agree, June 1, 2008 was truly a special day. It was the first time in years that the Brockway family was reunited! We gathered together at Loweville Park to celebrate, laugh, play, eat and get to know one another. And hopefully, it will be the start of a new tradition.

Although, I got to chat and catch-up with many of you, I feel that the afternoon went by too fast... and I didn't get a chance to really get to know everyone. And sadly, not everyone was able to attend. That is why I decided to create this blog.

This blog can be a forum for all of us to get to know one another. Here you can share life stories, pictures and tell us about yourself. It can be as simple or in-depth as you would like it to be.

For those of you that have never used a blog...
1) A blog is like a living journal
2) Blog entries are posted in reverse chronologically order
3) You can add pictures, videos and links to other websites
4) You can comment on other journal entries

I will be making everyone who received the original Brockway family reunion emails an "author" for this site. This means that you will be able add your own blog entries. If there is anyone (like your children or spouses), that you think should be added as an author to this site please send me their email address.

If you are having trouble figuring out how to use this website - send me an email and I will try to give you step-by-step instructions. Or, if you have a message that you would like to post - you can email it to me, and I will post it for you.

For those of you that are blog users already:
1) Would you like to be an administrator for this blog?
2) Do you have your own blog or website that you would like to share?


That's all from me for now. I will post my own "bio" in the next couple of days. ;)

I can't wait to hear from all of you!

Lots of love,
Sarah Ivy

P.S. I hope you enjoy the slide-show!! Please send more pictures if you've got them!
