Family Reunions

Of all the gifts his Maker
   has bestowed upon man,
None is more precious than
   his ability to love another.

Stoneburner Reunions

Each summer a Stoneburner reunion to which all Stoneburner descendants, whether closely related to us or not, are invited. It is hosted in Edinburg, Virginia at Creekside, the oldest home in town, currently owned by Ann Stoneburner Laing. Pictures taken at some of the recent Creekside reunions are available here for your viewing. If you are a Stoneburner, married to one, or even a friend of one, please come to our next reunion Sat, 2 Aug 2014. Come afore noon and bring some food or drink to share.

About the Pictures

Pictures were taken by Walt Stoneburner, Paul Stoneburner or Alan Garies using digital cameras. They were uploaded onto Paul's computer from whence they were later sent to this server and cataloged into their current form. Photographs are renamed from their camera-generated names into "YYMMDD-HHMMx.jpg" format using the camera-recorded date and time to facilitate directory sorting. We have attempted to keep the photographs in chronological order, merging images from the various cameras. This technique depends on the cameras' clocks being in sync which, unfortunately, was not always the case, especially at the earliest reunions when this complication had not yet been experienced nor anticipated. So, in some instances, an event is pictured which occurred prior to the previous photo. This happens when two cameras with out-of-sync clocks were used. Another consequence of this technique can be seen when two (or more) cameras are being simultaneously used on opposite ends of the property, even if their clocks are synchonized. This makes it appear that the photographer (singular) was running back and forth between pictures!

If you have pictures from older reunions not represented here, please either email me scanned copies or bring photos to the next reunion where I can scan them.

Reminder

Higher resolution copies (more pixels for better prints) of many of the older photos are available for the asking. Just send e-mail to Paul giving the names of the photo(s) wanted.

The project was taken over by Paul Stoneburner on 12-Feb-2000. Please contact him should you need assistance or have something to contribute. We'd especially like to get scans of some older reunion photos.

The Stoneburner reunion area is maintained by Paul Stoneburner and is hosted by Wizard Workshop and Company. Please take a look at our genealogical resources.
