Meeting Summary
- Committee reaffirms and is very appreciative of the efforts of our
Family's genealogist, Rob Brown for his incredible efforts in keeping
up-to-date the family tree, finding newspaper articles on our relatives;
plus scanning Family photographs and documents at the reunions.
- After discussions on various tasks the committee and other Family
members could do, the following activities should be the focus for the
next two years:
- Everyone should collect audio (vocal) stories about relatives.
A variety of small, relatively inexpensive handheld recorders are
available. These audio histories can then be converted to
digital format and become available on our web site.
- Efforts should be made to preserve historical documents, books,
photographs, etc. that have Willrich Family significance.
During the reunions, Rob Brown will scan these items so that they
may be posted on our web site. As for the original materials,
these should be physically archived -- the best location(s) were
discussed, but no single location was determined.
University/college/local public libraries are possibilities.
- Margaret Wilkens suggested that a Registry of Family
Memorabilia (pieces of furniture-tables, chairs, paintings, rugs,
etc,) be established so that these significant Family
treasures not be lost to the Family following the death of the
person(s) owning these items. If there is interest, a database
can be set up to list "
- The committee continues to entertain ideas that will lead to getting
enough interesting content (stories, photos, etc.) to put together
a "print on demand book" for the Willrich Family - USA.
- It was also suggested that a newsletter be sent via email every 6
(six) months to Willrich Family Members. The purpose of this
newsletter would be to keep us connected with one another, to request
new information of interests, and to point (link) to new internet sites
(pages) of interest.
Comments, etc. may be sent to the chair,
Stanley Cernosek
