Hello fellow Banaters, Please be sure not to hit reply without checking addresses unless you want the whole Banat list to read your post. I have a Minnesota smile on my face. With the arrival of the big international Germanic Genealogy Conference to the Twin Cities on July 28-30, it seems an ideal time to plan a reunion of the local "club." I believe our last get-together was in summer 2015, and I'm sure others will concur it was a terrific gathering of both D-S and other descendants from the Banat region. I'm sure several folks have traveled to the homeland since then, or at least there may be some neat family research breakthroughs. We would obviously want to plan our less formal event around conference proceedings and probably on that side of town. Last time we met at a nice patio restaurant/bar for an early evening out, but other notions may work just as well. I seem to have lost track of the ds-twincities listserve address. Is there anybody lurking who can reboot the list and get us all reconnected? Steve Herold, you out there? Carol Cincotta? Once we sort that out, I would imagine event planning communications will not take place on the general Banat list. We all have busy enough lives.
