2011 Lanett, Alabama July 2011
Brady-Higgins Family Reunion coming next year!!!

Dear Brady-Higgins Family Members,

Our 16th Brady-Higgins Family reunion has been scheduled for July 2011 in Lanett, Alabama.  Keep checking back - information for the 2011 reunion will be added soon. 

Background 

Mr. Simmie Brady of Warren, Ohio believed that it would be a good idea to have a family gathering at a time when families were not bereaved. Such a gathering would benefit the younger generations in that they could learn about their ancestors and meet relatives. At Simmie's request, Ms. Jim Brady-Lett and Mrs. Odie Madgy formed a committee with other family members to organize such a gathering. In 1980, approximately 125 family members and friends gathered in Five Points, Alabama at the homes of James and Lillie Brady and Wilson and Betty Brady for fun and fellowship.

Families came from all over the United States to enjoy a program and grand feast-at what would be the first (formal) Brady-Higgins Family reunion. Three years later, the family met again during the summer in Lafayette, Alabama. It was decided at this reunion that the family would meet every two (2) years on the last weekend in July.

Our thanks to Simmie Brady for bringing us together as a family and uniting us into family ties that has kept us together over the last 30 years. May God continue to bless you in our prayers. We look forward to seeing everyone at the old homestead in 2011.
