Konieczny Family Reunion

On August 12, 2000, the descendants of Frank and Sophia Konieczny got together at the home place for a family reunion. Over a hundred people drifted in and out during the course of the day, and others were unable to attend. Most also were able to spell and pronounce "konieczny," a feat in itself for 99% of the English speaking world. Here are some of the pictures I took at the event. If you are looking for more, feel free to e-mail me and I'll be glad to tell you what all I have and share them with you.

All of the pictures here on this page are thumbnails. Click on the picture to open the regular size image. Caution: some of them are large (in the 50-100K range) and so may take a minute or so to open if you have a slow connection.

My apologies to anyone I've left out. I tried to get everyone, but given the size of the group, that was not always possible.

I have lots more pictures, over 200 in all just from the family reunion. If there's a picture you're looking for, e-mail me. Or if you have one you think I should include, send it to me and I can scan and post it.
