I Had an All Family or as I called it "New Found Family Gathering" in July 2006.... It started with wanting to get together with everyone on my email list that I contact regularly, & know I am related to through basic family members we are all related to Samuel Hunter & then through John Blair Hunter & either one of his wives and any one of their children....& it bloomed from there, they invited their children or a brother or sister etc. & we wound up with a great group of people...We had a very good turn out, we all exchanged info, some photos & some of the people recognized some of the "Unknown" family members in the photos we each had along with us that day....The only bad thing that day was the HEAT...Our family gathering was a success, we all met family we never met before, we all ate tons of food, we all won prizes and we all found out a little more about each of our families.....and had alot of fun just visiting with each other for the day.....everyone wants to get together again next year......
We Had another family gathering August of 2007, we had a great time again....we had some of the same new family members and we had come this year that couldn't make it last year.....we got lots of new info and pictures from each other....we held it in Pillager, MN again this time but we have pretty much decided to hold our next New Found Family Gathering in 2009 down near Diamond Bluff, WI, because there is alot of family history there for this Hunter family.....Our Great Great Great Grandpa and his second wife & his oldest son all came there first from PA....I will keep you informed on this, but if anyone is interested in coming to this 2009 gathering let me know....I would love to get you address so I can contact you when we have more info on the gathering in 2 years --- we usually do this about July or August......
