Look forward to hearing from cousins all across the U.S.We would like to verify that we have your contact information (names addresses phone numbers) on this listing. If all cousins receiving this information would please contact Lita so she can identify cousins with whom we already have contact via FB, email and postcards.Doing so would help us produce a new listing of cousins for each state that WE DO NEED TO CONTACT.THANKS MUCH :)
One copy of this listing (for viewing only) will be available at both GA Kicklighter reunions, so please ask reunion chairpersons if you wish to view it.You may add any address or phone corrections.Also, it would be most appreciated if each cousin could look over this listing and ID all of your relatives listed by adding a ck mark next to the end of their names along with your first and last names for reference.This way we will know which Kicklighter family members on this web list currently receive no family reunion notifications as it will be our goal to reach out to those and share future family and reunion information.
