Who and Where Are Today’s Brodersens?

Part of the fun of a family reunion is spending the day together catching up with familiar faces and figuring out who those not-so-familiar faces are. At the last reunion, we spent a great deal of time learning about Anton and Anna as well as the Brodersens before and immediately after. For this reunion, we want to focus more on the “cousins”, their children, grand children and great-grandchildren.

Each clan – Ernest, Jens, Dora, Adolph, Herbert (Hap), Hilda (no descendents) and Edna – will have a small table to share photos and stories to catch us all up. We want to see it all … new babies, graduations, soccer games, family gatherings … you get the picture. Each family group will need to collaborate to make sure those that cannot be with us will be included.

As part of the effort to keep the family tree up to date and events like this going, Megan Patent-Nygren will be collecting family tree information such as births, marriages, divorces and deaths to distribute to family historians. She will also be collecting current names, addresses and emails as the current database is in dire need of an update, particularly of grandkids and great-grandkids. Grandmas, bring your address books, please!

You can email Megan your current address now!
