Whats new in Reichenberger World

I hope everyone is enjoying those last few days of summer before the fall rolls in.  Also, knowing Reichenbergers have a tendency for fall birthdays, I suspect some of you will be celebrating in the coming weeks and months.  

Anyway, I just wanted to provide a quick update on what is going on with the Reichenberger site.  

First, I have posted the family tree for the Oshkosh Reichenbergers onto Ancestry.com.  I do not have an account set up, but registered as a guest. If you would like to see it, you too can register as a guest (there is a 14 day free trial) and take a look.  I know there may be some errors, particularly with dates and locations, however, most of the tree itself is correct. I plan to continue to add and refine it in the coming weeks. 

Second, for fun I registered to have my DNA sampled from Ancestry.com.  What happens is they send a package, I swab my mouth with a couple of oversize q-tips and send it back.  Then they analyze my DNA for a genetic history.  Very cool stuff.  I plan on providing the results on this blog once I received it so you too (if you are a Reichenberger) can see some of our ancestry in our genetic code. 

Third, I plan on adding a birthday/new children/ welcome to the family page to track birthdays and serve as a baby announcements for new members of the Reichenberger clan.  Also, if you get married, you can post information on the new members of our ever growing group!  This should be up in the next two weeks. 

Lastly, I am putting some additional touches on what is already on the site.  If you have some information and would like to add to it, just email me through the site or at tony@reichenberger.us and I will be glad to add your contributions!  

Anyways, enjoy the rest of summer and prepare for Oktoberfest which is just around the corner. :) 

Tony,
