Diehl family gathering in Butzbach Germany 2007

Surnames: Diehl
Following the wonderful Diehl family gathering of descendants of Adolf Adam
Diehl in Helsinki/Helsingfors organized by Franciska Sundholm ne Diehl earlier this year I would like to invite you to the next
International Diehl Family Gathering in Butzbach from
Friday 29 June to Sunday 01 July 2007.
This time an even bigger meeting is planned also hoping for descendants of
Heinrich Christoph Diehl who emigrated to the US in 1851 and Phillip Diehl
who emigrated to the US about 1880/81 to participate and of course as many
of Diehl relatives still residing in Germany.
Since Butzbach will host the celebrations of the day of the State of Hesse
(Hessentag) in the first half of June 2007 the old part of the town will be
nicely restored!
Planned events subject to change:
Visit of the Evangelical Saint Mark's Church where the Diehl's were
baptised, confirmed and wedded
Guided tour of the medieval Butzbach within the town walls
Guided tour of the Museum of Butzbach
Buffet dinner with culinary specialities of Hesse.
Dr. Wolf, director of the museum and archive of the town of Butzbach, has already agreed to de-liver a lecture about the Diehl family's history even
before we left for Helsinki gathering.
Languages of communication are English and German.
If any one has suggestions please do not hesitate to email, write or phone.
Please help to make this family gathering a success by either spreading this
information to as many relatives as possible or by submitting further email
or postal addresses to me.
In November I will send the next email to make a preliminary survey of the
number of potential par-ticipants.
I would be very grateful to greet many Diehl relatives at the origin of the
family roots in 2007.
Warm regards,
Alfred Häuser
