The Reichenberger Project is LIVE!!!

WELCOME TO THE REICHENBERGER PROJECT!!! 

If there is one thing I have learned about this family is that we are all over the place.  We live in Germany, The Netherlands, Canada, Wisconsin, Kansas, Minnesota, Florida, Brazil, Norway and in other corners of the globe.  YET WHENEVER WE MEET OTHER REICHENBERGERS, WE NEVER KNOW HOW WE ARE RELATED TO ONE ANOTHER.

We all have a level of camaraderie among each other just by being Reichenbergers, but there has never been a complete family tree, never a roadmap connecting all of us into a unified family.  Well, the REICHENBERGER PROJECT is meant to sort that out!

We have one major goal-- to organize into a singular family tree anyone named Reichenberger to the greatest extent that we can.  If you are a Reichenberger we want to hear from you!  We want to know more about you--what you do, what you like, where you live!  If you were once a Reichenberger but married into a different family, or you are the grandsons or granddaughters of Reichenbergers with different names, don't worry-- you are still Reichenbergers!--you'll just have to be a little more detailed into how you fit into the big Reichenberger Picture.  

We are looking on rolling out a lot of things in the coming months-- a family tree of what we have so far, a family history, stories about interesting Reichenbergers past and present and much much more.  I'd like to have a contest on creating a modern family crest and even, if possible, work on getting all of us together for a worldwide family reunion at some point.  But we have to start with baby steps which means that first lets get to know each other a little bit.

So the goal right now is to sort out the website.  If you have had any web page creation experience, I would love to hear from you.  This is my first stab at it and I sense it may be a little amateurish looking until I get my virtual legs under me.  The better we can make this site, the more we will likely hear from others. If you have other talents and would like to help out, definitely get in touch with me too--we'll find something for you to do certainly!

In the meantime, to all the Reichenbergers out there that I have met and to those I look forward to meeting, BONJOUR, BUENOS DIAS, GUTEN TAG, GOEDENDAG, BOM DIA, O ZI BUNA and if I haven't covered your particular language yet, please google translate "Good Day" from English to your language. :)  BEST WISHES AND WE WILL DEFINITELY TALK AGAIN SOON!
