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.

Please Help Us


We are creating a family tree book 📚 for the reunion. We need your help. We would like this book to be the most updated family tree to date. Even if you can not attend the reunion, we need your input.

We need information about your branch of our tree. You and your family. Start with the founders of our family, their child that started your branch, their children, and so on, down to the youngest person in your family. We need names, dates of birth and location, dates of marriage and location, date of death and location. Please add any stories and memories, employment, accomplishments, favorite recipes, photographs and anything else you would wish to include. Contact information is also requested.

The deadline for this information is May 1st. That will give Susan time to put the information together, create the book, collect money once the cost is known and get it published. It will also be available in digital form.

If we don't hear from you, we will hunt you down until we get what we want. 😉 Just kidding, or are we? 😏

Please send your information to SusanLedford13@gmail.com.
Thank you for your help and cooperation. 💕

As an example, these are the people I would include in my "branch." I would give more detailed information for the people lower on the branch.
