A Weekend in Virginia

Early in 2011, I was able to connect with Barbara Harris and Craig Smith, two of my second cousins in Virginia.  We traded emails...the rest is family history.

A few weeks ago, my brother, Tim, and I went down to meet them in person.  We arrived late on a Friday.  Saturday morning we met Craig and his wife Gail. They were our tour guides. We went past several old family homesteads and cemeteries.  I am so glad we were able visit these sites together.

Barbara and her husband Stan hosted a reunion of eight second cousins (8 of 15 of Hugh and Willetta Turner's Great-grand children).  We had great time!

I will be forever grateful to my cousins and all they shared and did for us while we were there.
