Hi Beatrice!
The Tysinger reunion that my branch of the Tysinger family have been holding for the last 9 years or so will be held again this year on August 12, 2006, at Carolina Memorial Baptist Church in Thomasville, NC. This is a reunion of the descendants, family, and friends of Nathan Henry Tysinger (1891-1963), and his brother, Robie Edward Tysinger (1887-1947), of Davidson and Randolph Counties, North Carolina, sons of John M. and Josephine (Kanoy) Tysinger. It is an informal potluck gathering. People usually begin arriving around 11:30 and we usually begin eating around noon. We try to book the fellowship hall until 3 or 4 pm, so folks can sit and chat afterwards.
There is a larger Tysinger reunion which was first held last year and is planned for this year on April 29, 2006, at Beck's United Church of Christ, just outside of Lexington, NC.This is a reunion of the descendants of Adam Tysinger, who is considered to be the founding ancestor of the Tysingers in North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, California, and several other states, and I understand there will be cousins there from most of these places. It is picnic, and the information I have says people will begin gathering around 10:30, with lunch beginning around 12:30, and more time afterward to continue getting to know new cousins. I am not involved in organizing this reunion, so for this you would need to contact Frances Tysinger Robinson (

Hope you can make it to both!
