Fellow Lockers (and assorted Finnans), this website began from a conversation during Christmas 2009 in Southport, NC. Liz and Heather made a suggestion about a family reunion in Maine this summer. That led to some discussions about family trees, the last time we saw so-and-so, and regrets over the distance that grows between extended family. The more we talked, the more this reunion idea grew on us.  As this discussion coincided with the Jeff & Mary Finnan summer vacation planning, we thought…..hmmm… Why not go to Maine?  A few feelers were put out as to whether this reunion proposal was real or not, and before you know it, we rented a house in Maine for the last week in July.  Susan Finnan Stout began researching the family tree and trying to locate the far flung family. Whether you were involved earlier or newly tracked down – Welcome to the site!

This website is your spot for sharing family connections and posting photos. You’ll also find information on this site about our July 2009 Link-up at the Lake.  Use this blog space to capture your thoughts about these family connections.  I also welcome your ideas about how to set up this site.  Pages can be added, moved, expanded, etc.  Just drop me a note in the comments with your ideas on the site. I can also add you add as a blogger; just make that request in a comment.  There is also the sister Facebook site – check it out!
