Very inspiring, Miss Merry. Thank you so much for sharing that. I'm sure a lot of researchers wish that were their fortune, as well!Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-26420128313883847822021-12-29T09:07:50.418-08:002021-12-29T09:07:50.418-08:00Oh, as an Ohioan I am interested in this journey -...Oh, as an Ohioan I am interested in this journey - just for fun. I am about the world's most fortunate person with my Ohio German family. We had 3 brothers who immigrated to our county, eventually sending for all the brothers and sisters and the parents. And everyone has stayed here. AND they never lost touch with the relatives still in Germany. I remember as a little girl I saw the bound genealogy hardcover that the "cousins" put together. Now there are two volumes and an appendix and twice a year newsletter. There is a once a year reunion here in the county at the family church, purchased as a 501c3 when the church disbanded. It's next to a family cemetery and across the street from the original family home, now owned by a cousin who rents it as a bed and breakfast. Every other year (pre-pandemic) the American "cousins" travel to Germany for a week hosted by the German "cousins" and the opposite year the German "cousins" travel here. If only all relatives could have this easy peasy journey, LOL. Miss Merryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10691152819794851137noreply@blogger.com
