From Sarah

Thank you Jodi for setting this up! I am so excited to see if we can finally pull off a reunion. I will definately commit to attending if we are successful. So, now for an introduction.

Well, this might get complicated. Okay, I'm Sarah Williamson, the oldest sibling of my line. I am originally a Ladd. My father is Harold Gaylon Ladd and my mother is Margaret Williamson. I won't go into more detail than that unless someone asks. Please feel free to email me offline if you wish. I used to keep in touch fairly well for quite a few years and then I sort of dropped out of sight for a while. But I am back at it and very intersted in our family history again and seeing if we can tie this family together.

I live in Ventura, California which is an absolutely wonderful place to live. I moved here in 1994. I have two beautiful children, Kristen is 12 and Beau is 8. They are awesome! They live in Oregon. I work for a law firm and enjoy that very much. I am the office manager. I start school in January for my Paralegal certificate. I am very excited about that. It's been over 20 years since I've gone to college so this will be interesting. I am currently single but starting to date again. It seems like I attract old fat drunks for some reason! Why can't I attract the young drunks??? Just kidding. Most of the guys my age have big beer bellies and that is a turn off.

I've compiled a ton of information on our family. I have one line that goes back 2500 years. It is on the Gaines side. I still have a lot of input to get it all in my software but will get it done one day. I think my database now has over 2000 Ladd and other relatives in it. I'm sure there must be a book to be written as we have some very interesting ancestors. Perhaps we could put a team on that!

I can't wait to here from you all!

Sarah
