Does anyone know if there is still a GEHANT family reunion held ? The last information I found was that there was one planned for August 4th, 2002. For many years, these gatherings were held annually here in Lee County, Illinois. I would like to know if they still meet and am very interested in being a part of it if they do.
Thank you,
Karen

Karen,

There are still Gehant Family reunions. There was one on August 2nd this year. I am from California, and went to the reunion with my Mom as well as my Aunt and some cousins who live in Illinois. I'll get the contact information and send to you.
I'm researching the Modest Gehant brother. I have found quite a bit of information, but still have some missing information also. Who, of the three brothers that came to the US, are you related to?
I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

Kathy

Thank you so much for replying. I would sure like to be added to the mailing list and get the information about the Gehant family reunion ! Laurent Gehant was my great, great, great grandfather - his daughter Sarah married Constant Jeanblanc, their son Albert had my grandfather Robert and then there's my mother Sandy. Would like to hear more about you and the research you have done - if I have something you would be interested in I would be glad to share it !
Looking forward to hearing from you !
Karen

Hi,

Bet you thought I fogot. I called my Aunt, but she does not rememer the name of the contact person. She said it will be the 1st Sunday in August 2009 at the park in Amboy. My Aunt said she usually gets a notification in early July. I will contact you as soon as I hear anything. I'm still going to ask around for the name of the contact person. Either way, I'll let you know.

I'm researching the Modest brother. There seems to be quite a bit of information in the Zapf family tree, but it is private. I've ask for permission to view the information, but have not heard anything yet. In the meanwhile, I'll keep gathering information. Wish me luck.

It is nice to hear from you. The Gehant family and subsequent generations is really big. I'll get back you. If there is anything else I can do for you, please let me know.

Kathy
