Propes Reunion 2006 or 2007
Cousin’s and Kin,
I had the pleasure of going to a Propes Family Reunion in Monroe Co. KY, this past September 3, 2005. (For those that don’t know Monroe County, is where our ancestors settled after 1804 and before 1815).To this day there are Propes’ that live there who are descendents of Daniel Propes, who was one of those early settlers.
At the reunion I saw people that had a love for family and not only that but a true sense of who they are as a people and a connection to home and the land that they were born and raised. Even though most now live in other cities and states, the nine members of this clan chose to rebuild a replica of the house that they inherited from their parents, so they could have a place to go back to and call home. They are good people and I thank them for allowing me to share with them something that is dear to them, their home place and family.
Being there also gave me time to reflect on family. I have come to relies that family could mean more than one’s own brothers and sisters. It could be a common connection or just respect for who we are as a people.
What I would like to propose is a reunion for the descendents of John Propes & Elizabeth Dovel, to take place in Monroe Co, KY. I think that the Mulkey Church grounds would be a good location. It is public property that can be rented for this purpose. 2006 or 2007 is a suggestion.
It could be a time for those who want to meet distant relatives and for us who enjoy genealogy to share what we have learned and collected over the years. I would take on the task of putting this together. But help and suggestions are welcome.
