Family Histories

Hi Cousins!

It was GREAT to see you all on Sunday! :) Thanks Winnie and Wilkin. And Daryl :)

This is just a quick email to let you all know the details of the family reunion breakfast this coming Sunday.

Date: Sunday 22 July
Time: 8am - 11am
Place: Aunty Diana & Uncle Edward's Place
Food: Chinese breakfast - jook, noodles, chinese buns etc.
Bring: Yourselves (awake!) :P

Dao (our cousin) will be flying in from Darwin. He flies into Sydney early Sunday morning and will make his way over to our place.

He is scheduled to fly out of Sydney at 2:30pm back home (in Washington). Therefore, he will be leaving our place at around 11am to get to the airport by 12 - 12:30.

For those who are wondering how we're related. He is the son of YeYe's (our grandfather's) older sister's daughter.

Confused!? I know I am! :P

To make things easier, see the attached (highly simplified) drawing of a family tree! It's easier that way. I hope! Hahah :)

Nat, can you forward to Jono, Nic, and your parents.
V, same with your parents
Winnie, same with Aunty Christina

I'm kinda assuming everyone can make it, but let me know if you can't as we need to know for catering purposes!

Thanks! :)

Love Cousin Al

This was the attachment.

Dao forwarded some photos to give everyone some insight prior to tomorrow morning.




My grandfather's older sister (Dao's mother).



And her extended family.


Tomorrow... we'll hear all the stories.
