Barfuss Family History

          Have you ever wanted to know more about your parents, grandparents and other ancestors?
Well, we'd like to start keeping a record for your own children and grandchildren.
          As part of the 2013 Barfuss family reunion, we're creating a Barfuss Family History Book.
We're asking each family to fill out a one-page FAMILY HISTORY sheet telling about your family group.
          Then we'd like to have a one-page PERSONAL HISTORY sheet on each member of our clan (yes, that includes all the spouses and children of the Barfuss Originals)
          We'll gather the pages at the reunion and put them in a binder that will be kept at Grandpa and Grandma Barfuss' home.  You can bring the completed sheets with you to the reunion (great idea for FHE this week) or we'll have blank forms you can fill out during the reunion.  If you won't be able to attend the reunion, we're asking that you please send your completed pages to Grandpa and Grandma in the mail.
           We'll e-mail an attachment giving ideas of what to include in your contribution.  If you have questions give Stacie a call.
          Thanks for your help!  We look forward to seeing you at the reunion!
