Within the next few years, the Graves Family Association will be conducting a trip to England and Ireland. This will consist of a combination of expertly guided tours of Graves/Greaves homes and towns, historic places and scenic sights, and visits with local family members.

The tour of England will be the main attraction, since the origin of all the Graves/Greaves families of both Ireland and England is believed to be the area of southern Yorkshire and the northern parts of Derbyshire, Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire. This will be about 10 days, and places we will be visiting will probably include Mickleton in Gloucestershire, Moseley in Worcestershire, various places in Yorkshire, Bakewell & Beeley in Derbyshire, Horbling, Drayton & Kirkton in Lincolnshire, Hertford in Hertfordshire, Nazeing in Essex, and London.

We hope to have noted expert George Redmonds escort us in Yorkshire again. We also hope to have two evenings where family members from the local area gather with us.

The tour of Ireland will be an option. It will be several days, and will include Waterford, Wexford, Dublin and Meath, and possibly Limerick. It will also probably include Tyrone and Londonderry in Northern Ireland. Safety (as well as enjoyment) will be an important consideration, and no area that is felt to pose any safety problems will be included.

More information will be provided well in advance of the trip. Cost of the 1995 trip was $2375 per person double occupancy plus airfare.
