Your Invitation

June 30, 2000

Dear Cousins (which I think we all are) and friends,

It is time to return en masse to the beautiful mountains of Kentucky. The descendants of John and Sarah Phillips May will be meeting the weekend of August 25th thru the 27th, 2000 at Jenny Wiley State Park, in Prestonsburg, Kentucky. Anyone who is a May, married a May, descended from a May, related to a May, or wanna-be a May is welcome. Not only welcome but, truly encouraged to come. If you are only the tiniest bit interested in your roots you will leave, so glad you came.

On September 5th, 1748 our MEŸ ancestors landed in America ... over 250 years ago!!! We are of German descent. Between the very first Grandmother Maria Catherina Meÿ (then in the year 1748) and ourselves (now in the year 2000) there are volumes of information which some of the Cousins have spent years of time compiling, Making the rest of us the most Fortunate of the Fortunate, to be able to share.
