May 2018   Group Tour: Tom Heuer and the Rosenbohm Family. Germany Revisited.       12 Days, 21 people 

Tom Heuers family goes back to Hilbert Rosenbohm, farmer from Etzhorn / Oldenburg who emigrated in 1857 via New Orleans to Peoria County Missouri. After we met years ago in Oldenburg to discuss additional research Tom brought a large group already in 2008 to travel and trace the Rosenbohm history. 10 years later this jubilee tour again included the Rosenbohm sites and an interesting route throgh Germany. We visited Inge Lamken and her family in Wiefelsted, had a wonderful reception in the Rosenbohm furniture store in Oldenburg and Doris Hilbig opened the doors for us in Hilbert Rosenbohms childhood farm in Etzhorn. Inge joined the group all the way to Munich. Highlights were a festive dinner at Engers palace right at the Rhine river, Berlin, Lutherstadt Wittenberg with the still ongoing events of 500 years or Reformation and the Romantic Road to Munich. Tom has compiled a wonderful fotobook "A history of the Rosenbohm Family. Von Deutschland nach Amerika" and I enjoyed his and his family's friendship during wonderful days in the mountains of Colorado in 2019.
