Family Reunions

Stoneburner Reunions

Each summer a Stoneburner reunion to which all Stoneburner descendants, whether closely related to us or not, are invited. It is hosted in Edinburg, Virginia at Creekside, the oldest home in town, currently owned by Ann Stoneburner Laing. Pictures taken at some of the recent Creekside reunions are available here for your viewing. If you are a Stoneburner, married to one, or even a friend of one, please come to our next reunion 16 Aug 2008 (3rd Saturday of the month). Come afore noon and bring some food or drink to share.

About the Pictures

Pictures were taken by Walt Stoneburner, Paul Stoneburner or Alan Garies using digital cameras. They were uploaded onto Paul's computer from whence they were later sent to this server and cataloged into their current form. Photographs are renamed from their camera-generated names into "YYMMDD-HHMMx.jpg" format using the camera-recorded date and time to facilitate directory sorting. We have attempted to keep the photographs in chronological order, merging images from the various cameras. This technique depends on the cameras' clocks being in sync which, unfortunately, was not always the case, especially in the earliest reunions when this complication had not yet been experienced nor anticipated. So, in some instances, an event is pictured which occurred prior to the previous photo. This happens when two cameras with out-of-sync clocks were used. Another consequence of this technique can be seen when two (or more) cameras are being simultaneously used on opposite ends of the property, even if their clocks are synchonized. This makes it appear that the photographer (singular) was running back and forth between pictures!

Reminder

Higher resolution copies (more pixels for better prints) of these photos are available for the asking. Just send e-mail to Paul giving the names of the photo(s) wanted.

We appologize, but we have not had a chance to put these pages into better order.


Knapp Reunions

Until 2003, the descendants of Joseph Homer Knapp (1873-1955) of Baxter, Pa. held a family reunion each summer, usually in Round Hill, Va. just west of Leesburg. 2002 was the last reunion to be held in Round Hill as the hosts were retiring to Pennsylvania.

Sorry, there are currently no earlier photos available.

The project was taken over by Paul Stoneburner on 12-Feb-2000. Please contact him should you need assistance or have something to contribute. We'd especially like to get scans of some older reunion photos.

The Stoneburner reunion area is maintained by Paul Stoneburner and is hosted by Wizard Workshop and Company. Please take a look at our genealogical resources.
