Shields Reunion Slated for July 10, 2011

The following was received from Midge McClenon.  The geneology to which she refers is reproduced below the story.  The information I received does not include progeny for David, Charles or Joseph Shields, children of  John and Elizabeth Kenraid Shields.

The 76th Annual Shields Reunion will be held on Sunday, July 10, 2011 at Nathaniel Cole Park, Harpursville, NY. Luch will be at 12:30 pm.


Please bring your own table service and beverage, and a dish to pass. Charcoal will be provided for those who wish to grill.

The genealogy is as up-to-date as possible from the information that has been received. Hopefully, it is attached to this e-mail. Please check it for errors and additions. If there are any errors or additions, please send notification of errors and all additions to midgemcclenon@lycos.com or petecollier@btinternet.com. Peter is actually the genealogist who has put this together for us from my notes.

Please, DO NOT send us corrected copies of the original or additions in the original (can you imagine how long it would take to go through each one???) Just send the necessary information and we will get it where it goes - I hope!

If you have any questions or need directions to Nathaniel Cole Park contact midgemcclenon@lycos.com or 607-441-0475.
