About Us

Francis and Mary Ellen Britton, along with 7 of their 9 children and families immigrated from Fort Madison, Iowa to Loup County, Nebraska between 1884 and 1889. The first Britton Cousins Reunion was held in June 1999 and has been held every two years since in Taylor, Nebraska. There was an earlier Britton Reunion held in Taylor in 1953.

The purpose of this website is to share pictures, stories and information between family members. Cousins that have attended, have taken many pictures during these reunions and some are posted on the website to be shared. The website also contains old family photos and historical documents that you may find interesting. Information about the next Britton Cousins Reunion in June of 2021 will be posted when details become available.
