Sept 2019  The Schulenburg Excursion.      Started at Hannover airport hotel, Bargfeld, Bremen and Bremerhaven, ended at Oldenburg. 600 Km, 3 days, 2 hotel nights.

Charlene Schulenburg and Garry Passon from Hawaii attended the Oldenburg Filmfest. As a tribute to actor Seymour Cassel (+ 2019) who over the years was a close friend of the Filmfest Charlene presented her production "Reach for Me". A three days excursion helped to unveil the story of the Schulenburg family. Research in the church archives at Hannover pointed us to Bargfeld and to nearby hamlets where friendly hosts and distant cousins invited us to their homes. Local experts shared their knowledge and luckily we found the home of Carsten Christopher Schulenburg from 1778 inmidst of extended potatoe fields an the Lüneburg Heathland. The old beam, saved by the todays owners, gave proof we were at the right place. The evening of day 3 saw us in time for Charlenes movie presentation with the Filmfest crew in Oldenburg.
