I've re-discovered the GenForum Gotcher site just recently.My ancenstors come from Copperas Cove, TX.My father was Ace Donald and his brother was Clayton.Their fathers' name was Bailey.Bailey's parents were Charles & Bell Gotcher.This past Thanksgiving, Clayton and myself vistited the remnants of the Charles and Bell's home outside of Copperas Cove.Throughout my life that place was always referred to as the "Gotcher Home" and I only remember going there a couple of times when I was a kid back in the early-to-mid sixties for family reunions.For those individuals related to the Copperas Cove Gotchers I wanted to inform you that the land has been sold again and is now being subdivided for housing.

Do any of you other Gotchers out there remember going to family reunions there?

I'm also looking for any info/stories or photos of Charles & Bell or any details about their parents, etc.Also a three or four years ago Clayton found a flyer about a Gotcher reunion in Ponder, Texas.Did anyone go to this or would you happen to have any information on this?
