Yes, this blog is still working.  Sorry, I just can't seem to find the time to post to it more often.
I get a lot of "cousins" contacting me to find out if they connect somehow to Joel Estes.  If you
are one, please help me out by doing the following:

(If you DO NOT KNOW if you are a descendant of Abraham Estes of VA/1600's)
Email me your (Estes) grandparents names, birth dates, birth places, death dates and places. And if possible, the names of their parents and what states they are from.  This will help me in researching the lines and connection to Joel Estes.

Our Estes Family Association has opened up our membership to ALL descendants from Abraham Estes who came to America/Virginia in the 1600's.  You are welcome to join and receive newsletters, which will keep you updated on Estes Family reunions and other Estes news.

Any questions will be answered through email.  Please contact me:

2014 EFA REUNION

Our reunion was held on July 31 to Aug. 3, 2014 in Estes Park, CO.

I had a great time and I hope that everyone attending had a great time, too.
I haven't heard any complaints yet.  :)

Our next reunion will be in Estes Park, CO scheduled for 2017.

Our new dues will be $10 per address and covers you until the next reunion in 2017.

You now have the option (if you paid dues) to receive your newsletter by mail or by EMAIL.
And you will need to let me know which way you prefer, or you will receive them by mail.

If you are new to the Estes Family and would like to receive the newsletters please send a check to me made out to Estes Family Association and mail it to the address listed in the right column for Kathy Garcia.  Please make sure I have your correct name, mailing address, contact phone number, and email address.  Also let me know if you want them mailed or emailed, and if you want all issues starting with September 2014.  (If you are a Joel Estes descendant, please let me know which line, or which of his children you are from).
If you are a descendant from a line connected from Abraham Estes, I would like to have your lineage from him to you.

I will try to put a few hi-lights from each newsletter on this blog, that will help me update this at least every Spring and Fall. 

We have new Officers this year and the updates are listed in the right column.

If you wish to contact me, I prefer email if possible.  I receive notifications of new emails immediately and I respond by the end of the day.

If you wish to leave a comment, please email me instead of leaving a comment on this page.
Thank you.

Reunion is almost here!

Our Estes Family Reunion is fast approaching!!

It will be held in Estes Park, CO from July 31st to August 3rd, 2014.

I don't know how many of you still stop by sometimes to see if I've posted anything, and I'm sorry I haven't posted anything in awhile.  If you have stopped by to check out this blog would you kindly send me a short email at related2me@yahoo.com to let me know I still have you stopping by?
I would appreciate it.  And it will give me more of an incentive to keep it updated more often.

Thank you for your support.  I hope to see many of you at the reunion.
Have a wonderful summer.
