We had over 60 in attendance and met many new relatives.
Joey Flesher Jahant gave a very informative and interesting presentation,
outlining the journey of the two immigrants, brothers Peter and Heinrich (Henry) Fleischer,
who came over from Ober-Seeman Germany. Peter had with him, his wife, Anna Theil and
son John. John did not live to be very old, but through his children, has many descendants,
including many from the area where the reunion was held, in McLean Co IL.
Ray Flesher also gave a great presentation on the two brothers and their children.
He handed out the newest issue of the Flesher Family Redwood to attendees,
which included information on other Fleshers, besides the two
brothers who were immigrants to the new land. Ray says the next reunion
will likely be in Jay Co IN. That will be in two years, so start thinking
about making plans to join with other cousins there.
