We are seeking family history and updates to our “Wall of Descendants” for the reunion. We have added a Family Group Record form for ease of submitting your information. The form header lists the early ancestor from our Revolutionary War soldier William Norman and line of descendant. Use the form and note any updates or corrections including information written on the Wall of descendant sheets at the 2019 to 2023 reunions.
