For a year Dennis, along with a committee of his cousins have been planning a REDD Family Reunion in New Harmony, Utah where his great grandfather, Lemuel Hardison Redd lived until they moved to Mexico. There were nearly 500 people in attendance including the following you see pictured. It was a great success and our family enjoyed learning a little more history about their dad's family.
Dennis with five of the six, Tara, Travis, Tristen, Treavor and Tiffany all drove to New Harmony for the day. Telisa, don't be sad! You would of come, if you lived in Utah!!
The actors who portrayed Dennis' grandfather, Lemuel Hardison Redd with his two wives, Keziah Jane Butler and Sariah Louisa Chamberlain. The Peters' line came from Sariah and Lemuel. We are all wondering why Lemuel's parents chose the name Lemuel. (apparently they hadn't studied the Book of Mormon too closely!?)
Aunt Tara with Redd William Van Leeuwen! This is the family line where Tristen chose the name Redd for her son.

I was asked to take the family picture! Here is 1/8 of it! If you look closely, you can see some our immediate family.
