THE FAMILY REUNION

Corning relatives came from all over North America to meet in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia on July 22 -25, 1999. They came from Florida, from California, from Oregon , from British Columbia and all points east- 136 people who shared a common ancestor. And what a nice group of people they were! Everyone was anxious to get to know each other, to find themselves in the family tree, share family antedotes, and even find excitement in the foggy weather.

Come and share some of the fun we had!
