A Branch is a group of related families from the same ancestor. To be an association "branch" the group must have at least five members, a branch chairperson and a board of Director approval. The association currently has five branches. Other groups of Reep descendants are always encouraged to join & form new branches. Current branches of the Reep groups are identified below. Each branch has it's own chairperson.
