Romberger Family Marks 259 Years in the U.S.

On July 28, Dauphin County's historic Hill Church provides a bucolic backdrop to the Romberger All-Family Reunion where friends, fun and genealogy rule.

Berrysburg, PA, June 30, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Romberger, Ramberger, Rauschenberger, Rumberger, Rombarger, Rambarger, Rumbarger, Rauchenberger, Raumberger, Raumbarger, Rauenberger -

Carry the name or one of the variations? Carry the blood? Any US Ra/au/o/u-mb-a/e-rger stands 99% odds of being descended from the first immigrant ancestor, Barthel, so come join the clan!

The 2012 All-Family Reunion is set for Saturday, July 28. As in years past, Rombergers of all spellings will meet at the beautiful Hill Church in Berrysburg PA where many family forebears worshipped and now rest. This year attendees celebrate 259 years of Rombergers in the U.S.!

The Romberger Family Association has been meeting since the 1980's, and the Rombergers are a well-documented family. This year's reunion will have two historians in attendance- the past historian, Dr. John Romberger (also the family association founder) and Bob Averell who took the historical reins in 2010. Bob's found a new branch of the family descending from immigrant Barthel's second wife, so there's now more info than ever to try to assist family members in their genealogical pursuits. This is a great opportunity to explore one's roots and ensure attendee families are linked too by sharing known info about individual lines. There's also a hard to describe feeling about sharing a room with many other people who are kin.

Folks are asked to bring a covered dish if possible, and if not, not to worry, there's always plenty of food. It's a beautiful place, and an occasion for fine fellowship, conversation, viewing displays, and walking the cemetery. Also, there's a lot to do in the area so it's simple to plan a weekend if one chooses. Area activities are in the reunion information packet that may be requested below.

This is a rare chance to have the benefit of people who truly know the family, as well as to stand where Romberger forebears once did, so take a minute to request an info packet.

To receive information about the Reunion, send an email to rombergerfamilyassociation AT yahoo.com or call Suzanne at (717) 559-0099 to receive an information packet suitable for both the serious and the curious. Recipients will learn about the family association, and have the chance to register for the reunion and/or mail in family info. Whether one goes this year or not, requesters will be placed on the mailing list for future reunion notification. The Romberger Family Association hopes to get invitations to all interested individuals in a timely fashion, so it's hoped replies will be forthcoming soon.
