The Big Brinton Family Reunion will be held on Friday July 13 and Saturday July 14, 2001, at the Murray LDS Stake Center Recreation Pavilion, in Salt Lake City, Utah. This is the FIRST reunion to be held in the west for the Brinton Family Association (now, Brinton Association of America) combined with Descendants of David Brinton (1814) Utah Pioneer. The cost to register is $10 per person for the two-day reunion program and Friday-night dinner, plus an additional $5 per meal for breakfast and lunch on the Saturday. Family rates are available.
Plans are underway to prepare an update of the red book David Brinton 1814 Utah Pioneer to include those born after 1976. We are grateful to Virginia Wagstaff Bushman for researching and publishing this book. She also published The Dilworth Families in America. Virginia died June 4, 1999; she had been the Brinton family genealogist for many years.
Plans are also underway to prepare future genealogy books for The Brinton Association of America. We need suggestions and volunteers for keeping our records up-to-date with marriages, moving, births, and deaths. Please contact the BAA Genealogical Secretary, Denise Brinton Berti, at 3698 Dearborn Rd., Evington, VA 24550-1830 (or, via e-mail: genealogy@brintonfamily.org) if you can help and/or you have family information to pass along for these planned publications.
