Housed on the Frank & Julia Bell's Bookshelf "ARCHIVES" are documents such as booklets and souvenir programs from previous Family Reunions and other events that show Family History, Trees and more. These items date back as far as twenty (20) plus years. Many items show the connection between the Lee, Davis, Moten-Shelton, Fletcher-Thomas, Lanier-Sullens-Bishop, Hatcher Families.
As we continue to present content for posterity that includes photos, pictures and/or documentation of our Family and Families as they were some Twenty (20) Plus Years Ago. We are sensitive to new people that may have married into the family and people back Then & When that are no longer in the family for any reason. Please remember there are people still in the family that are children of couples who may be in new marriages and/or relationships and each of their parents are still important to us as they are to them. We will not cause further destruction by destroying Historical Family Memories and Memorabilia. This applies to Family Reunion, Memorial Services, Weddings, Graduations and/or related content. Just because a person may no longer be apart of this family as in a former capacity, their children are still in the family FOREVER.1996

Around the end of March 2025 I came across this VHS Tape labeled "2002 Moten, Sims & Sullens Reunion" and I wondered what condition the tape was in and what contents had been recorded. On April 08, 2025 I sat for 2 hours while the system converted the VHS to Digital and during those 2 hours I saw Family History and Memories unfold like never before. Without further ado I suggest you get some snacks, beverages and handkerchiefs and watch as the Familiar and New Faces and Voices unfold and the History of this Family is told like never before.

Family Reunion & Beyond
This is the proposed 2020 Family Reunion Souvenir Booklet. Although all efforts regarding this Family Reunion had to be suspended because of the COVID-Pandemic some great things still emerged to bring the Family together and promote family unity. The Moten Family Reunion FACEBOOK Platform was createdand managed by Kimiri "KiKi" Moten-Smith, Mary Shavonne Moten and Brenda Sue (Monroe) Moten. The Moten Family History Book was completed as a collaborative family effort and released on October 25, 2021 as a Digital Book for all to read, share and distribute. That release date was selected to commemorate the life and family of Julia Bell Caver Moten-Shelton on her birth month and day. Approximately two (2) months later on December 22, 2021. On the birth month and day of another muc appreciated historical person in the family, Etta S. Parker Lanier-Hatcher. The official version of MOTEN-pedia Website/HIP H-APP was released. It was created to bring more extended History and other content using current state-of -the-art technology. It also archives a special Collection called "The Etta S. Parker Lanier-Hatcher Files" to show gratitude for her willingness and generosity to share a wealth of decades of knowledge and history about over thirty (30) families. That are the architects of this one vast family. And finally design and development of The Moten Family History Network are going as planned. With strategic roll out dates planned for 2022.
