New features: Friday Family Face and Show & Tell Monday

TO ALL FAMILY MEMBERS:

I want to start a spotlight of each family member so that we can all get reacquainted and get to know those family members that we don’t know (children and/or spouses).

I have sent an email to each of you that I have a email address for, with a questionnaire that I’ve put together. Please answer all the questions or as many as you feel comfortable answering. You can elaborate on your answers if you want. I know it is a lot of questions, but it gives me the option of highlighting different questions & things about each person each week. I promise I won’t use all the questions each week. I’ll try & use about 10-15 of the questions at any one time.

Please forward the questionnaire that I have emailed to all your family members including children and their spouses if they have one (this mostly applies to Bunkers as I don't have Rick & Tyler's emails or Marti's kids) . Have everyone in your family (adults & children) fill this questionnaire out & email back to Kim at kasmlc@hotmail.com as soon as possible. I would also like you to email me some photos of each person to go with their questionnaire if at all possible. At least 1 photo so we will know what you look like. I should get back a questionnaire & photos for each person in your family.

Each Friday I will pick a person to spotlight & pick some questions from the questionnaire to put in blog with answers so everyone can get to know everyone again. And get to know spouses & children that we may or may not know.

Email me if any questions. Looking forward to finding out more about each of you. If you don’t want to participate, please email me & let me know.

I'm also going to have Mondays be "Show & Tell" on the blog. I will try & think up a different subject each week. This Monday 9/29/08 the subject will be: MY FAVORITE ROOM IN MY HOME. You can post photos of your favorite room in your home, apartment condo, tent, whatever you live in and describe the reasons you love this room in your home.

I hope that each of you will participate in this.

Kim

P.S. I will start this Friday Family Face off this week with Me.

Welcome

Hi! My name is Kim and I started this blog so that our extended family could reconnect with one another. We are all descendants of Merlin & Edith Manning (or married to someone who is). There are 3 branches to our Manning Family Tree. Branch 1 is Dorothy's family (I belong to this branch). Branch 2 is Joni's family. And Branch 3 is Marilyn's family. And of course each branch now has sub branches as the grand children (of which I am one) have their own families & now even the sub branches have sub branches as some of the great grandchildren have their own families as well.

It has been my hope that each member of my extended family would want to be a part of this blog and participate. It's been iffy at best. But some of them do participate with me & some have their own blogs. I've listed those under Family Blogs. At least we are getting to know each other again & I love it!!

The rules of our blog are that we can post as little or as much as we want. We can add photos, videos, funny jokes, emails that we receive & want to share, join in other bloggers memes (blog parties), etc. But most importantly to let us know what is going on in each others lives. Kind of like a journal that we are willing to let everyone read. There really are no rules. Just to be sure to log on every few days to see what is new. Or you can subscribe & you will be notified each time there is a new post.

Even if you are not family, you are more than welcome to enjoy our blog & leave comments. The more the merrier! We love making new friends and are not opposed to adoption.
