- Looking to Form Albright Reunion
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! - Re: Taylor/Buchanan Reunion in Oregon
I am Tamara Buchanan Barker- daughter of Nolan Buchanan, grdau of Joseph, grgr- Thomas Alexander & Mary LaVilla, grgrgr Alexander Armstrong & Nancy Jane- grgrgrgr James & Margaret, as well as Marion Taylor & Emily or Emma J. Million. I have been searching for years. My father died when I was 14 and we didn't have the best communication after that with his family, as his father was deceased, also. The one reunion that we received word of was at a time when we were unable to attend. My youngest son married a girl from Payette, ID. I'm hoping to get there this summer (we live in Western Montana). My father was born in Copperfield, which I understand no longer exists, but I wanted to visit that area, as well as Halfway, where my grandfather lived. I'm not sure what I'm looking for, but I would dearly love to knkow more about my ancestors. If you could help me, I would appreciate it. Thank you. - Taylor/Buchanan Reunion in Oregon
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. - 2007 Gerking Family Reunion
