Virginia Reunion: The Thomas Family
"Out Of The Gardens Of Angels Above, God Picked Our Loved Ones To Share His Love."
Welcome to the website of the Thomas Family of Virginia. We are the descendants of William Abraham Thomas (b. 1864) and Belden “Belle” Boyd (b. 1869) of Mecklenburg, Virginia who were married in 1890. They had six children: Jimmie, Elizabeth, Mollie, Joseph Elmore, Clarence and Lelia; and from their offspring and through successive generations we have grown to include hundreds of family members living throughout the United States.
Every two years we join together in a family reunion in Virginia. The August 7, 2010 reunion will be held again in South Hill, Virginia. We hope that family members will register at this site to let us know their plans to attend. Further, we hope that even if family members are unable to attend they will register on the site and keep us updated on their latest address information and assist us making this website an ongoing repository for our family history as well as the history of the many branches of our extended family through marriages and unions.
This year the primary focus of the website will be in keeping the family informed of the events and planning for the August 7th reunion but we hope that this site will also become an important supplement to the Family Booklet published for the reunion.
We encourage and look forward to our family members submitting new material, family narratives, ongoing historical updates, photos and news and events of interest to the family. So much that is both exciting and sorrowful can happen between the reunions that take place every two years and certainly the hours we spend together on this single August Saturday cannot provide us with all the catching up we would like to do so please keep the site updated with your family’s information. The Reunion Committee will post the latest Family Tree updates you’ve submitted here on the website so check back occasionally to insure accuracy before the Family Booklet is published.
Additionally, we would welcome information on those happenings on the “other” side of your family. Perhaps, you have other reunions you will be attending for which we can post information and certainly the family would find it fascinating and informative to look at other branches of other Trees. The value of doing much of this online is the ability to take complicated branches of many sides of our families and post them as links within our website or as links to other sites.
Send your photos especially any older photos you have of a historical nature. We can post them as links to a particular family member or in our Photos & Video section. We can also set up one or more dedicated web pages if you have something of interest to share.
