I'm trying to come up with some quick get to know you games so people will mix and mingle. the 100+ people will all be descended from a single woman via 8 different lines. 6 from her oldest son and 3 from her younger son. Among the 9 different family lines we expect that very few people will know anyone outside their line.<br /><br />I was thinking that maybe I could get a cheap polaroid camera and take a photo of each person as they register then on the last day have an activity where everyone has to place their photo on a big tree chart. Still not exactly sure how to do that. Ive tried printing large scrolling trees from Ancestry.com but they are not always very complete.

People need to know ...Oh, I wish you the very best! People need to know their families, even though sometimes they are afraid and reluctant! A hundred people in Chambers County, Alabama, is a good crowd. Last year we had 80+ people in Sumter, South Carolina, as a "first cousins" reunion. One second cousin came also, with his wife and a family tree in hand. Everyone was a little timid at first, but they ended up having a great time. I went around taking everyone's picture, and I also had a chart and handouts to explain (briefly! 8 minutes!) how they were all related. I hope your reunion is a big success and a wonderful feeling!Mariannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09543003593158696611noreply@blogger.com
