1990 Jordan Family Reunion

Home Family Tree Charts Research Information Send Email

The 1990 Jordan Family Reunion was held in Fredricksburg, VA, at the home of Bob and Carol Geis. Since many Jordans reside in the New York/New Jersey area, as well as many in Florida, Virginia seemed like a good halfway point.

This was the first gathering in many years of the "cousins" (my father's generation), since their parents were constantly fighting, and many were not speaking to one another. But the cousins held nothing against one another, and decided it was high time they all got together again.

It was also a chance for the older and younger generations to meet one another. And this was the gathering that sparked my interest in family tree research.

Speaking of Dave and June Jordan, here they are again,
looking like the couple that they are.

Here is a picture of the younger generations (children of the cousins, and the children's children) I'm in the center with the blue and white striped shirt. My sister Pam is behind me in the light green, and my cousin Bob Winand is behind me, next to Pam. I believe Nicole Jordan is on the other side of Pam. Mark Hendricks III is on the other side of Bob Winand. My cousin Todd Schanel is at the right end of the top row. All the folks in the orange shirts are Richard's kids. (They all came in the orange shirts with their names on them, how cute!) The three people to the left of me are Terrie Ashley, her son Austin and her daughter Emily. In front of the Ashleys are Debra Mangus (daughter of Richard) and her three kids, Sara, Arianna, and young Nicholas. Molly Jordan (also daughter of Richard) is on the right end of the middle row. The other three between me and Molly are also Richard's kids, Lizzie, Linda and Tara, but I'm not sure which one is which.
