Dear...,

After having succeeded in forming a considerable family tree out of the various branches of the Bollschweiler families in USA, Switzerland and Germany, England, Austria and France, we'ld like to invite you to attend the First Worldwide Bollschweiler Family Meeting "at the roots" in the Schwarzwald, the Black Forest in Germany. It shall help to get to know each other or to see each other again. Here is the organization
committee:

Trenna McCashland-Bollschweiler, Great Falls/Montana (Montana, Idaho, Utah) Diane Bollschweiler, Wellsburg/West Virgina (other US-states) Brigitte Trurnit-Bollschweiler & Hanno Trurnit, Grünwald/München (South Germany) Albert Bollschweiler, Heidelberg (other parts of Germany)
Robert Bollschweiler, Luzern (Switzerland) Horst Bollschweiler, Klagenfurt (Austria, England, France, Spain)

(There are more Bollschweilers who helped with the research much more than
others - p.e. Larry Bollschweiler and Steve Parkes in USA, Annelies and Félix
Bollschweiler in Switzerland, Elinor Kirsch in Germany and Margret
Schaffner-Burton in England.)

We hope to see all Bollschweiler relatives at the meeting - whether their name is Bollschweiler or not. We tried to arrange an interesting program.

In order to help you and us planning a great event, we ask you to send us the enclosed registration sheet within the next weeks, but not later than Sunday, August 15th, 1999 (via Airmail). We are sure you know more Bollschweiler relatives than you can find in our list - so please invite them all - send them copies of the
invitation, the program, and the registration form and ask them to send them in time to Germany. The more come the cheaper the hotel will be...

We try to make an interesting Bollschweiler book to be issued for the meeting. So when you have or know something about the history of the Bollschweilers or interesting stories or possess old fotos or drawings - please send us good copies; as soon as possible (there'll be much work to do...).

If you have any idea how we can improve our program, please let us know. And if you don't want to come, please let us know too.

See you later - in the Schwarzwald...

Brigitte, Hanno and Trenna
