Where We
Come From
Every family has a story. Ours is one of endurance, faith, and love that refused to be broken. From the elders who worked the land and kept the family together through everything this country asked of them, to the generations who moved north, west, and everywhere in between — the Reed name traveled, but the roots held.
This site is our family's home on the internet: a place to gather, to plan, to remember, and to make sure that what our ancestors built is never lost to time. The stories our grandparents told at the kitchen table deserve to outlive the kitchen table.
We're building our family tree, collecting photographs and records, and preserving the history — kept safe here, for family only.
"A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots." — Marcus Garvey
