Hello Margaret,
Yes, it's evident exact surname spelling was almost an afterthought for 19thC record keepers. As you can see, all my ancestral names are fairly simple yet finding facts still proves to be an elusive activity.I can imagine how difficult it must be for anyone with family names longer than 2 syllables.
The interest list in proposed Descendant's Reunion has indeed substantially grown in past few mos.Stumbling block for setting definite date seems to be time of yr.Some say that off-season is best for lower cost & others feel that warmerweather would enhance the trip.Possibly it would help to set up a thread at this forum for interested parties to submit specific preferred dates & somehow find a compromise date that could accommodate everyone?
Our last trip to Auld Sod in Mar 2001 was extremely chilly&wet.The rain was non-stop downpour almost every day. The constant inclement weather put a literal "damper" on our explorations. So, that experience causes me to lean towards a month that traditionally is drier.Any thoughts??
