Family day 2004

May, 15th and 16th 2004 in Ostgroßefehn, Ostfriesland

Time passes on quickly! It is more than two years since we met in such a large group in Ostfriesland, the country where our ancestors lived over 400 years after fleeing from France at the end of the 16th century.

It will be a pleasure to meet again next year as we already announced recently. The family reunion will be on the weekend of May, 15th and 16th 2004 in Ostgroßefehn, Ostfriesland.

We believe that it is going to be an enjoyable weekend full of entertainment and surprises! Please try to make your reservation prior to April, 15th 2004.
