Fulrath Family Gathers

 

After more than 100 years, the descendents of John Fulrath (1802 – 1888) & Margaret Harr (1800 – 1872), who came from Darmstadt, Germany in 1850, eventually settling in Carroll County, IL, gathered at the Old Mill Park in Savanna, Illinois, Saturday, July 19, 2008.  It was a wonderful opportunity for family to discover their past and connect for the future.  Family came from as far away as New York and California to take part in the two-day event. 

The 26 family members that arrived early gathered Friday evening at Hillside Stables Restaurant and Inn, in Sabula, IA, for a truly wonderful meal, introductions and the sharing of family history and pictures.  For the majority, it was a first time meeting.

On Saturday, over 60 family members gathered at the Old Mill Park.  Personalized nametags with family lineage facilitated family connections and allowed for more time to discover the diverse lives of individuals today.  A number of copies of a 535-page Fulrath Family History & Genealogy was available for the family to peruse as well as purchase.  The book was researched and written by mary Diane Fulrath Miller Peters of Fremont, MI.  Each family received a folder containing a CD of the above-mentioned book, a Fulrath Family pen, an abbreviated version of the Fulrath Family Genealogy in print form, and every person received a Fulrath mug.  The family enjoyed a marvelous catered meal provided by Donna Geerts of          Northside Country Inn, in Morrison, IL.  Family pictures were taken as well as video coverage, which will eventually be made available to family members. 

The family decided to gather again in July 2010 and then will gather every 5 years thereafter.  The reunion was a huge success and more importantly family re-connected.

Subject: Searching Info

Just in case some of you are unaware of this capability, here is an easier way to find things in ANYTHING:
 
It works in most programs, if not all: - DOCUMENTS, PDF FILES, WHEN YOU ARE LOOKING AT A PAGE ON THE INTERNET, ETC!
 
 
Set Your cursor at the top of the item that you are looking at - go up to the top BAR (where you find such things as File - Edit - View, etc.) - Left Click on Edit and go to Find  - a box will come up and put in it what you want to find - keep it simple, less description is better than more - For Example, if I wanted to find John P. Fulrath, I would just put John, in the request - that keeps you from missing something because of something being set of with a (   ), or ;  or a number, etc.  You may find more John's than you want, but it won't take you long to get where you want, and it is less likely you will miss important stuff on the way!  If you are looking for Charles, you might search for:  Charl, but you might also want to search a second time for Chuck.  If you are search for Diane, you might search for Dian, leaving room for various spellings.
 
Hope you get the general idea and that this is helpful to you!
