We are going home to Schuylkill County, PA.

A Shimsky Family Reunion is being planned for the weekend of July 27-30, 2018, in the Minersville, PA area. We will be going home to where Peter and Mary Maliniak Shimsky settled their family, starting our families American Dream.
The weekend will include the 84th Annual Ukrainian Seminary Day at the Saint Nicholas Picnic Grove, Rt 901, Primrose(Minersville), PA from 11 am to 8 pm, on Sunday, July 29th, 2018.
There are still many details to work out. Nancy Gulbrandsen and Susan Ledford (SusanLedford13@gmail.com) will be the go to people with any questions, suggestions and ideas. There are so many of our Shimsky family that barely, or don't, know one another. Lets fix that and get as many family members as we can to this reunion. Let's get to know each other and have a ball in our family homeland.
This BLOG will be the main information resource, but Facebook Messaging may also be used. Please share this BLOG with as many family as you know. We need e-mail addresses and/or snail mail addresses and then a head count for all those that will be going. Yes, we have just under 10 months to plan, and the biggest challenge will be to find places to stay, so let's get this party started.

We Need Family Information, Please


     Since this reunion is all about FAMILY, we will need family information. While working on the family tree, we have the basic information on Peter & Mary (1st generation). This includes name, date of birth, place of birth, date of death, place of death, jobs, and photographs. If you have anything to share, please do so.
     We also have this information for most of their children (2nd generation). The information starts to get lost for their children (3rd generation) as the family starts to spread out and some family contact is lost. This is also true for their children (4th generation) and their children (5th generation). 
     We would like to have a complete family history, starting with Peter & Mary Shimsky all the way down to our newest family member. Our goal is to have a take home gift of a complete family tree of historic information, photographs, stories, maybe a favorite recipe, and current names, addresses, phone numbers, and e-mail addresses.
     Anything posted in the contact form comes directly to me so feel free to share anything you have to offer for this project. I have also posted my e-mail address on the home page statement for your convenience. This is a group effort, and the sooner you can help, the more prepared we will be next year.
     Thank you to all,     Susan
