NEW FAMILY WEBSITE! www.sethnevajohnson.org
All NEW news articles (published after May 22, 2009) are posted on the new web site. A
new family website will replace this website at
www.brooknet.com/johnsonreunion/. Please note the new address above.
Don't worry, though! The information that we've pubished here (for 5
years now - wow!) is being copied to the new website. This old website
will be available until we complete the transition. Why are we doing this? - Grandfather and Grandmother Johnson deserve their own "domain"!
- The
new site will have quicker access. The "latest family news" page
of this old site is getting so large that it's difficult to access for
those with slow connection speeds.
- The new site has more capabilities.

Do you
know of loved ones in our family who are having health issues? Let us
know and we will include them in the
Johnson Family Health Report.
Include as much or as little information as you would like, but please
do let us know so that we can include those in ill health on our prayer
lists and send get-well wishes. Please share follow up news, too. We
love you and we care.

The
Iowa roots of our Johnson Family are still deep and strong! Every year
they continue the tradition of holding their own Johnson Family, and,
as always, they have graciously invited all their Alabama (and beyond)
cousins to join them in this annual family celebration on Sunday, June
14. Please see the invitation below and consider the visit. They always
warmly welcome their Deep South cousins!
Amanda Berkstresser to undergo heart surgery
Amanda
Berkstresser, wife of James "Jim Bo" Berkstresser, got the unfortunate

a heart defibrulator. Please see the Johnson Health

Josephine
"Josie" O'Brien Rountree in poor health
We
are sad to hear that Josephine "Josie" Pierson O'Brien Rountree has
been diagnosed with cancer. Her daughter Tana Lynn Rountree has been
very good about keeping family members up to date on her mother's
health status. We thought we would share those messages with you here
as we receive them in this Health
Report.
Josie
is the daughter of Joseph Nathaniel and Dorothy Dixson Johnson O'Brien
(Uncle Joe and Aunt "Dot").
Please keep Josie in your thoughts and parayers as she continues to
fight this foe. Send your love and get well wishes to:
Josephine Rountree
2810 Belmont Dr.
Ocean Springs, MS 39564
We are praying for your recovery, Josie. And as Tana requests, we will,
"get the Johnson prayer chain going!!"

Our
Family Heritage Preserved
We
extend a special thanks to Uncle Wylie (Wylie Pierson Johnson)
for faithfully preserving the genealogy and heritage of our very large
extended family. Have you seen his latest works? For over 30 years, he
has devoted untold hours to traveling, researching, writing, and
compiling data for two family books now published:
- Solomon
Johnson, 1601 - 1690: His Descendants & Some Allied Families
- Solomon Johnson and wife Elinor Craft/s are the 5X Great-Grandparents
of Seth Johnson.
- Neva
Kate Carmichael Johnson 1880 - 1952: Her Family And Ancestry
-
Discover Grandmother Johnson's family and ancestry back to William
Walter Beavers and wife Elizabeth Ragsdel, her 2X Great Grandparents.
These
books are a life's work for which we are all deeply grateful. If you
have family information to share, fill
in the form below
(as many times as you wish for as many family members as you wish).
This information will be forwarded to Uncle Wylie. Or, get in touch
