Looking to Form Albright Reunion

ilovemymara — 26 Jul 2008 2:35:47 GMT

Hello Albrights of Oregon! My name is Tom Albright and I am looking to form an Albright family reunion. The trouble is, I don't know any of you. My grandfather, John Carmi Albright, Jr. was not a man to whom family was important. I know I have many cousins in the Corvallis area (Ratters and Albrights) and that's it. So, if you are descended from George Henry Albright (1855-1938), please drop me a line! George's children were Lewis Elrod, John Carmi (my great grandfather), Mary Eleanor Albright Gillis, George Frank (G. Frank), and Forrest Alvis. Thanks for reading this and I look forward to hearing from anybody! My email address is phantom110@hotmail.com. Thanks!

Taylor/Buchanan Reunion in Oregon

lynwes — 22 Apr 2004 8:49:29 GMT

A family reunion is planned for Aug. 20-22, 2004 in Halfway, Oregon. Ample accomodations and/or RV-camping are available. Please contact me for further information.

Marion Taylor married Emily Million in MO and then settled in OR. One of their daughters, Nancy, married Alexander Buchanan. Most of the Buchanans are well documented but the Taylors are pretty thinly represented. The most prominent names on the Taylor side are Chipman and Duke.

If you think you might belong to one of these families, contact me and we'll check it out.
