St. Petersburg is a tourists dream full of beaches, resorts, shopping, and colorful sunsets.  But, my main attraction this year is meeting many family members that I've never met before and discovering more about where many of my ancestors were raised.  Since Covid, we have not had a Paulk Gaskin reunion where we could share our time and history.  We are the Paulk descendants, and I am a granddaughter of the late Annie Paulk Stewart who gave birth to 14 children and left to grieve her memory 40 Grands and 23 Great Grands.  Our family tree extends far and wide throughout Florida, Virginia, New York, and even Kansas.  I greatly love my family and have only 1 remaining Aunt and sister of my mom, the late Willownee Stewart Tinsley, whom I would love to see in Florida.  It would be an awesome learning experience and family  exchange full of precious memories. I would be delighted and grateful if you could help.
