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.

See you in 2 weeks!

I can't believe that two weeks from today, our Shimsky Family Reunion will be almost over, but let me digress. Why worry about good bye when we have not yet said hello?
I can't wait to come together and hear the stories of our elders, make new memories, and share the love of family.

Unless there are any last minute changes, this is who is attending at least part of the reunion
and who may attend, with a question mark (?).

Susan Ledford
Marianne Blumenberg & Brian
Pearl DiSabatino & Richard + 1
Jerilyn & Jerry Nardella + son?
Michelle & husband + son?
Laurie & Jack Sears
Nick & Margit Anne Shimsky
Dan & Sylvia Shimski
Melvin & Judy Cooper + 2 granddaughters?
Nadine Minnichback ?
Christine & John Emel
Charmaine Colosimo
Nancy Gulbrandsen ?

Living in Minersville is Carol Shimsky, the wife of John Shimsky 3rd. Hopefully we will see her and a child or two. Her children are Meghan, Tyler & CJ and  2 of the 3 live in North Carolina.
Pauline Shimsky Gulas lives about 1 1/2 hours north of Pottsville.
Her son Ken, & Janet, live close, but I have not had contact, though I have left messages.
Nadine Catherine Smith, from what I understand, now lives in Colorado. I have left messages with no reply.
I hope everyone else was found and notified. A few relations were exciting about the reunion, but attending plans fell through or they had other plans for this weekend. Then there are those that live too far away. We will miss all those that will not be joining us.
