THANK YOU!
from Christine Conley-Sowels:

"The first Conley/Connelley reunion in Salyersville in 25 years was a wonderful success.  We had about 85 adults and children in attendance at the Old Bank Building – Renaissance Room.  The Michigan Conleys hosted the event, but had lots of help from the Kentucky Connelleys.  For some of the Michigan Conleys, it was their first visit to Salyersville, where their parents and grandparents were raised.  It was wonderful to reconnect with family members and to meet many family members some of us had never met before.  
We would like to thank everyone who helped make this reunion possible and to those who attended.
 
We have put together a CD of pictures from the reunion if anyone is interested, simply pay the cost of shipping $2.00.  If you would like a CD contact Dr. Christine Conley-Sowels at klsckc@yahoo.com.
