22st Annual Family Reunion
July 28, 2012
Date: Saturday July 28, 2012
Time: 11am until dusk
Place: Meadowbrook Park, Bascom, Ohio
Bascom,
Ohio is centrally located for most of us living in the Midwest, between
the cities of Fostoria & Tiffin in north central Ohio.
Let’s share some old times and tales of our ancestors!!!!
I guarantee a great time!!!!
2012 will mark our 22st consecutive
family reunion held at Meadowbrook Park in Bascom, Ohio. We started our
joint family names connection back in 1991. There were several small
individual family reunions held throughout America in the early 1900s
but 1991 was the 1st family reunion which included all our
various spellings (over 70+). The most common of our surnames in use
today are; Kisabeth, Kisaberth, Kisseberth, Kissenberth, Kispert,
Kuespert (Küspert),D'haene, Birchall.
Many of our ‘regular’ family members
have since passed on so we must have the cooperation of our ‘younger’
folks to keep these annual reunions alive and going. Last year we had
about 25 attendees compared to about 150 our 1st year in
1991. Several years we have had over 50-70 people attend.
Please try to make a special note to
attend. We need people. You may wish to call a cousin, brother/sister,
uncle/aunt or just a friend and tell them to come.
Each reunion both Gordon & Gerald
Kisabeth bring several old items including scrapbooks, computer updates,
pictures, newsletters and other items of interest.
Our reunion is so informal and we
would love to see new families or individuals show. Stay for a great
home cooked lunch or just visit. You are always welcome!!!!!
So on Saturday August 6, 2011 get in
the car and stop over to Meadowbrook Park. You can learn more about your
ancestors and have a nice conversation for a few hours. We have our
annual lunch around 1 pm and there is swimming, softball and other
games for the kids.
See our website for directions. We
have our updated book for sale and we need to get your family updates
into our database. Gordon always brings his computer for updates,
additions and corrections.
REMEMBER- you are only a stranger but once!
