Our Reunion History

In 1974, the late Mrs. Liggie Marie Ragsdale McDougal, the daughter of Annie Ealy Ragsdale Nichols and the granddaughter of Paul Ealy, had a vision to unite the descendants of Bob & Jane Ealy.  She then organized the first Ealy Family Reunion. It was held at Belle Isle Park in Detroit, Michigan.  Subsequently, the Ealy Family Reunions have been held biannually in various states.
