Those that attend this family reunion are descendents of
Albert Street Jellison
born 12 August 1879 - died 30 May 1965
and
Lucy May Steward
born 9 July 1886 - died 17 May 1968
Their children are Robert, Vina, Sylvia, Ircel, Evelyn, Nila Bea, Mildred.
Ancestry of Albert Street > Robert J. (1843-1910) > Levi (1812 - 1852)
> John (1771 - 1861) > Robert (1746 - 1826)
Since Albert's birthday was celebrated on August 12th, it was decided by the family from the beginning that everyone would gather on that day each year - thus the 2nd week of August reunion came to be.
If you are Jellison family from Albert's many ancestors, we'd love to have you visit and share pictures and memories. Please contact us through Jellison Reunion on Facebook to connect with your cousins!
