“In every conceivable manner, the family is a link to our past, a bridge to our future.”
Alex Haley
Thanks for your interest in Gwinnett!

Memorable Family Activities
Be sure to incorporate plenty of family bonding and photoworthy activities on your itinerary. Here are some suggestions:
Photo Swap
Invite attendees to bring their old historic family photos to the reunion include pictures of people, places and even previous reunions. Encourage everyone to label their photos with names and dates. Set up a scanner and create a CD of everyone’s photos. Once you’ve created the CD download the photos to Dropbox.com or WeTransfer.com and share them with family through a free, easy link.
Family Trivia
Create a form or booklet with family-related questions such as: What was great grandfather Powell’s first name? Which Aunt had twins? When were Grandma and Grandpa married? Set a deadline, then gather the family together to judge the results.
Family Tree Wall Chart
Create a large family tree to display on a wall. Have family members help fill in the blanks and make corrections. Wall charts help the young ones visualize their place in the family and it can be a fun exercise.
Heritage Cookbook
Prior to your reunion, invite the family to submit favorite recipes or recipes that have been passed down. Ask them to include details on memories surrounding the dish, photos or the family member known for the dish, etc. Compile these and turn them into a cookbook for each family in attendance.
