Fabulous Reunion!!

What a fabulous 11th Doherty Family Reunion July 3-5, 2009 in Hanna, Alberta!!!
Thank you so very much to the hosts, Archie & Geri Kittler and BJ’s Reunion 'GO' Team:
Registrar: Amber Kittler
Blog Master: David Barley
Blog Consultant: Aron Barley
Reunion Co-Ordinator: BJ Hughes
Reunion Activities: Tannis Hughes
Necrologist: The Rev. Noel J. Doherty

It was a very memorable event! Well done and thanks again!

Bill & I last attended a reunion in Leduc in 1998. We were able to attend only the Sunday at that time. This time around, we were there for the whole event. It was simply great to meet so many new relatives from Canada and the USA. Some people have attended all 11 reunions! Nearly 100 Doherty family members attended this year.
If you were unable to attend this year, you will have another opportunity. Plan now to attend!

12-12-12……12th Reunion in 2012 with 120 in attendance is our motto!

I am Lorraine Selles and I am a granddaughter of Elizabeth (Lizzie) Doherty. Bill, my husband, and I will be your hosts for the next reunion in 2012. We will be working with the Elizabeth Doherty Olsen branch to provide all of you with another wonderful family reunion experience. Mark your calendars now – July 13-15, 2012. Tentatively, we plan to meet once again in Leduc, AB. Watch for complete information from BJ Hughes at a future date. We look forward to seeing everyone there.

The Family Necrology of William & Catherine Doherty

WILLIAM JOHN DOHERTY MARRIED CATHERINE JOHNSTON IN ST. JOHN'S CHURCH, BELFAST, IRELAND ON SATURDAY, AUGUST 23, 1884. THEY HAD 13 CHILDREN: RUTH, GEORGE, KATHLEEN(KATE), WILLIAM JOHN, JAMES HENRY, ELIZA(LIZZIE), THERESA(TESSA), JENNY(MABEL), MARGARET, JOHNSTON GILL, MARY ANN(MARION), ROBERT THOMAS AND ISABELLA(BELLE). The names were copied from the family Bible by Minnie Doherty, wife of George, and the dates of birth are shown in the Bible.

Be watching the blog for the Necrology of William and Catherine, their children, and subsequent generations. The initial sources for this information were the 1975, 1985 and 1989 Doherty family history books. The list is compiled in ancestral, rather than chronological sequence. However, at the 2009 reunion in Hanna, Noel Doherty, second youngest son of Robert and Ella Doherty, will present the list in chronological sequence. The ancestral list following was prepared by Barrie (BJ) Hughes, youngest son of James and Marion (Doherty) Hughes.

We need YOUR help!

When the list is posted early next week, please check your particular family 'branch' and let us know, by April 1, 2009, if there are any errors or omissions. If so, please communicate directly with BJ Hughes at bj@westelcom.com.
