HELLO RIVERS FAMILY!
My name is Angel, and I\'m writing to say that your family website is nice, I was actually about to start one for my family, which consists of Rivers also; mainly from Georgia. I came across this website and thought that this was ironic. Anywho, I like the website.
Take Care, Angel!

This website is unbelievable! As a friend of Sheila Adams and John Rivers, I've had the opportunity to attend one of the River's reunions. The pride, the bond and the love of the River's family reminded me so much of my own HUGE Virginia based family. Keep up the good work and have a blast at the reunion!

Hello Everyone,
For those who don't know me, I am the daughter of the late Harvey and Dorothy Rivers.
I am just hearing about the Reunion today, i would like to stay connected with family.
Along with the late Sabana Rivers Pulliam, I help to coordinate the first 'full reunion' in Dinwiddie, Va. after the passing of my mom and aunt, Ruth Rivers Stith. That was the the beginning and the purpose of the reunion was to get to know our family.
I have not received commuications about the reunion until last minute several times. I am not complaining but this situation needs to be addressed because I am not the only one excluded. My contt information is phoebemg@aol.com and 757-481-8007 www.phoebemarketing.com I did not see anything on the site about the Family Tree. I had started a Family Tree to include every family member data. Family Tree members committee , if you have additional information, we can merge our information. I passed a written copy to my brother, George Rivers, current President.
I just want to be part of the Family. Contact me at anytime.
D. Yvonne Rivers

I came upon your site by accident. I was googling for genealogical information for Sussex County. My roots are Drewryville and Capron. I visited with Mrs. Mary Rivers Harris many years ago. She had some wonderful stories about her family and history. I saw pictures of my Wyche cousins and Sturdifen relations on your site. You have put together a great site, very professional looking. Please continue it in this manner.

I'm looking for family of James Rivers. It would be great to know if you are a part of his family and mine. James was a railroad worker for a majority of his life. He married Jeanette and retired in SC. James was from a large family. I believe he had 9 brothers and sisters.
Unfortunately, this is all I know of him. Growing up I really didn't have much contact with him. If you have any information or if any of the information I've given sounds familiar, please contact me. I really would like to get to know my father's family.

Hi Family!! I am one of Vernon Mason's granddaughters (James Mason is my father). My sisters and I attended our first Rivers Family Reunion this year, and we had an awesome time. We vow to never miss another one. Our father died in September of 1972 and, unfortunately, we were out of touch with most of our grandfather's family. With the exception of our father's half- sisters and brothers, Aunt Seabird (Vernon's sister) was the only one who looked after us and made sure we were okay. For that, we are eternally grateful and will always love her. We met a lot of family members for the first time and it was quite an emotional tilme for us. Thank you, Rivers Family, for the wonderful reunion!! We are looking forward to 2007 already.
