The End of Summer and the Beginning of Something New . . .
by Timothy Klitz on 08/30/17
The end of August and the beginning of September is a very busy time for our family history, especially for the Klitz side of the family. Our Klitz ancestors emigrated 148 years ago this month to start a new life in America.
Labor Day Weekend is the traditional weekend when we celebrate our Klitz Family reunion and remember all those who came before us and made all that we have possible.
To commemorate these events and remember those who came before us, here is a list of the final resting places of our ancestors from all four families who emigrated to the United States. While some information is still missing, most of the information is present and correct.
