Welcome to the Homepage of our Family Association

The purpose of the association is to study the various branches of the family and history, cherish family traditions and to promote a sense of belonging among the members of the family as well as to do family companion and family history known and otherwise promote the work of local history.

To realize these aims we are striving to

  • organize family reunions, family conferences, tours/excursions and other comparable events
  • support the families in research activities and genealogic work
  • collect and archive the family data as well as to share research and heritage knowledge
  • pursue the realization of publishing to promote the society's purpose

    As to support activities the society is able to accept donations to set up funds and organize fundraising and raffles with the proper permission.
