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.

Welcome Shimsky Family!



     Nancy & I are working on the lodging for everyone that wishes to attend this reunion. We will need a headcount as soon as possible, as the hotels are filling up fast. So many people attend the Annual Ukrainian Day from out of town, and we will be many of them. 
     The Ukrainian Day is on Sunday, so we thought people would want to arrive in the Minersville area on Friday, wander around Minersville on Saturday and have a group lunch/dinner together, and leave on Monday. We know this may not work for everyone, but we hope at least part of the weekend will be accommodating for you. 
      We want the weekend to be fun and informative about our family history. Nancy, Laurie, and I have been working on the family tree through Ancestry.com. We want to share our findings with everyone, but we would also like your input. What family stories and traditions do you know that you would like to share? The older you are, the more important your stories are. We also need family photographs. Maybe share a favorite family recipe, also. We want to have a family souvenir for everyone to take home with them. 
     Please share this BLOG site with family and save the date. If you have any questions, suggestions, ideas, or anything else related to our family, please share.
