UPDATE: August 2018

The 2018 Vinet Family Reunion has come and gone. We had four of Telesphore and Gertrude’s daughters with us this year: Theresa, Jackie, Pauline and Denise. We were all sorry to miss Lucienne and Claude but understand that it’s not always possible to attend these types of events.

This year, we had a total of 33 family members attend with the youngest being five years old. WooHoo.

We enjoyed great music, great food and great fun. To learned about each other and reconnected with members of our family that we hadn’t connected with in a very long time.

We hope that those who came enjoyed yourselves and plan on coming to our next Vinet Family Reunion in the coming years. To see photos and updates, visit our blog or our Private Facebook page.

Bonjour à tous.
Et bien, la réunion des Vinets a été une belle rencontre de famille. Nous avons eû quatres des filles de Télesphore et Gertrude Vinet avec nous: Thérèse, Jacqueline, Pauline et Denise. Lucienne et Claude étaient absents. Nous comprenons que c’est pas facile pour nos famille plus âgés de participer à ce genre d’évènement.

Cette année, nous avons eu un total de 33 membres de la famille Vinet que sont venue de partout au Canada, de la Colombie Britanique jusqu’au Maritime. Le plus jeune d’entre nous avais cinq ans. BRAVO!!!

Nous avons été choyer par de la bonne musique par nos cousins artistes, de la bonne bouffe et plein de bon temps. Nous avons appris à se connaître d’avantage avec ceux donc nous n’avions pas vu depuis des années.

À tous ceux et celles qui sont venues à notre réunion de famille, nous espérons que vous aviez eu du plaisir et plannifier de revenir dans le future. Pour voir des photos et des mise à jour de la réunion des Vinets, visité notre blog ou notre page privée de Facebook.


Hello, Bonjour!
We’re excited about our second Vinet Family Reunion. Are you coming?
It all started with a desire to get to know who I was and where I came from.

  • Where did my grandparents go after they got married and boarded that train in 1919?
  • How did they survive and raise 16 children?
  • Where did these children go and what became of them?

This family reunion is the start of getting to know the more than 180+ family members that are direct descendants of Telesphore and Gertrude Vinet.

Come and get (re)acquainted with relatives from all across Canada and the US.

We look forward in seeing you.
