Williamsport and Germania, Pennsylvania, July 2010
The brainchild of two cousins, David Carl (Carl) and Mary Louise (Bob) who live half a country away from each other and who had not seen each other since elementary school, almost a year in the making the first Niklaus family reunion in 60 years took place in Williamsport, Pennsylvania on August 30, 2010. Those attending represented fourth and even fifth generation descendants of Albrecht and Bertha who started this Niklaus family tree in a log cabin in Germania, Pennsylvania.
With cousin Carol's (Walter) help and thanks to the enthusiasm, support, and help of all the Niklaus family members living in or near Williamsport, this first family reunion was a great success. For many it offered a chance to meet, reunite, re-acquaint, and to bond and share their family history. Many years had passed since some had seen or spoken with each other making the reunion even more meaningful.
This Niklaus Family blog is created to give everyone in the family a common place on the web to stay in touch, to share family news and photos, recipes, and to plan the next reunion.
