"When our generation moves on and we leave this world, we leave it to our children and to our grandchildren. Each generation appreciates life as their generation lived it. Death is not really considered until their generation moves on towards the end of its life cycle. Then do we first appreciate what life is, and how much it should be cherished. When our life cycle expires, may we have cherish, and be cherished."

A reminder, if you should distribute a family newsletter, would appreciate if you might send me a copy as it will help to keep me up-to-date.

Suggest you review this newsletter in say a month. Past experience has shown many family updates are acquired following the release of the newsletter.

By the way, the postal family newsletter does not contain all the information you will find in the Internet version, specifically photos and linked to pages.

Check here for the individuals for who we presently need an updated email address. The error information will be retained for two years, then removed. At that point, if no one responds, the individual will be lost to us.

From the book American Album by Oliver Jensen, Joan Paterson Kerr and Murray Belsky, 1968 and 1985: "A photograph is indeed the living past, as neither words nor art can ever be, however cunningly contrived. There before you, frozen forever, is the light that fell on a human face-someone you loved, or someone you never new; an ancestor or a famous man, or someone quite unknown-but there he is, true to the life: the odd hair, the unblinking eyes, the funny collar. The light that fell on that face reaches us a century later, bringing with it a precisely truthful image of what our eyes would have seen from the same vantage point, down to the last wrinkle."

"A memento, and you come to life
A remembrance, and they hold your hand
A picture, and you live on forever"

They had two children, a boy and a girl, who died as infants. After her sister Maria (Siegl) Kachelmeier died in 1909, Maria's son Johann went to live with his godmother and aunt Katharina. They lived in Vollmau until the Sudetenland expulsion in 1945 when they lost their home and property and relocated to Furth im Wald, Bavaria. This is the extent of my knowledge on this family.

Am very much in need of photos for many family members. If you have not shared a portrait photo of yourself, your spouse and a family photo, the family heritage needs them! Don't forget your high school graduation photos.

Check here for guidelines addressing heritage background information and picture selection.

Hope the year 2012 will be everything you wish for it to be. Take care, and enjoy your family.

Peace to you
