Family reunions have taken center stage in various communities, showcasing heritage and connection. The Haworth family reunion in Clinton County celebrated the 325th anniversary of their ancestor’s journey to America, with nearly 70 descendants gathering to explore their roots and engage with local history at the Clinton County History Center. Meanwhile, the McGraw family marked their 71st annual reunion, emphasizing their extensive lineage and the importance of family ties, with members traveling from as far as Costa Rica to attend. Additionally, the Maloney and Coseo families transformed their reunion into a charitable effort, packing shoeboxes with personal care items for those in need in Elmira. This trend highlights how family gatherings not only reinforce bonds but also serve to give back to the community.
