We believe in honoring our roots, strengthening our family ties, and preserving a lasting legacy.

Meet the Generations

Traditional family trees can be endless and difficult to navigate, so we have organized the united Reed and Cunningham family history a little differently. By grouping everyone strictly by generation, you can easily find your peers—from first cousins to fifth cousins—across both branches of our family.

Starting with our shared matriarch, Mary Finley, and our patriarchs in Generation 1, select a generation below to find exactly where you and your immediate relatives fit into the story.

Help Us Keep Our Family Tree Growing!

Our family history is a living, breathing document, and we need your help to keep it accurate. Whether you need to fix a simple typo on a birth date, welcome a new baby or spouse to the family, or add a whole branch of cousins we might have missed, we want to hear from you!
