“Somehow, some way, your foundation is Lewis — and you belong here.”
California cousins, Texas cousins, Mobile cousins, East Coast cousins: one family.Family can be ten buildings away.
Two cousins spent years working on the same base in San Antonio, about ten buildings apart, without knowing they were family. By the time they found out, they had about a year together before one was transferred to Japan.
Another time a cousin was stranded, and a chain of relatives got her picked up at the airport and home safely. Later, family in Dallas–Fort Worth gave her a place at their Thanksgiving table.
Registering for this reunion is the start of a family directory we keep after July, so we always know where our people are.

Good to know
How do I pay?
Pay the committee using the method they post here. Then go to My Registration and report the payment. Your balance updates once the committee's payment verifier confirms the money arrived. A reported payment shows as “awaiting confirmation” until then.
I married into the family. Should I register?
Yes. Choose “Married into the family” for your branch, and list your spouse so we can place you on the tree together.
I'm not sure which branch I'm from.
Choose “Not sure yet” and tell us your parents' and grandparents' names. A family tree captain will help you find your place.
My last name isn't Lewis or Antone.
That's fine. We record your current last name and your birth surname separately, so a Green, a Williams or an Arnwine stays connected to the Lewis line.
Who can see what I enter?
Your contact details, attendees and payments are visible only to you and the reunion committee. The “Who's coming” list shows only your household name, branch and city, and only if you tick that box. Stories, tributes and photos you share are visible to family members who have this page.
Getting here
Please arrange your own travel to Fresno and between the hotel and venues. Fresno Yosemite International Airport (FAT) is the closest airport.

Register your household
One person fills this in for everyone traveling together. You can come back and change it any time before the reunion.
Two lines, one family
From the family tree chart compiled in January 2026. Tree captains are checking it branch by branch. If something is missing or wrong, tell the committee.
The family tree loads here for family members.
Notes from the poster: connections that could be read more than one way
Why that name?
Our elders carry names with history behind them. Know the story? Share it in the Stories section below, or tell a tree captain.
Family stories
Name stories, favorite memories, the funny one, the strict one, what Grandma cooked.
Share a story
Honoring family we've lost, especially since our 2008 reunion. A name stays on the tree, and a tribute here becomes part of the family archive.
Add a tribute
The Lewis Family Veterans. Living or passed, add the family members who served, and what they'd want remembered.
Add a veteran
Nurses, teachers, engineers, barbers, writers, business owners. When our young people see what the family does, they see what's possible.
Add yourself
Photo Sharing
Old albums, the 2008 reunion, weddings, military portraits, last week's cookout. Say who's in it and roughly when, so the photo stays with the people in it.
