R-mb-rgers Laud Family Grit at Reunion

Family Gathers to Mark 42 Years as an Association, and 271 years in the US; surname variations include Romberger, Ramberger, Rumberger, Rambarger, Rombarger, and Rumbarger.

R-mb-rgers of all spellings will be welcomed at the All-Family Reunion June 2, 2024 at Camp Hebron, in Halifax, PA. Doors open at 10:30 AM. This year attendees will celebrate "The Family Hustle" examining family triumphs over adversity from 1753 to the present.

Local historian and author Steve Troutman and Family Historian Bob Averell will be joined by guest speaker Ben Ancheff, former pitcher, MLB replay ops administrator, and current athletic director of Williams Valley Jr./Sr. High School.

No cover; contributions and covered dishes appreciated. Prizes for the youngest, oldest, and furthest travelled. The iconic book "Finding Our Roots in Bavaria" will be available, as will the family book of shame about the 1880's Romberger/Troutman murder and executions. There'll be the usual food, friends, fun and genealogy too.

Luncheon seating is limited, early registration strongly encouraged. For a free info packet by mail, call 717-827-6050, or those with a printer may go to https://tinyurl.com/RR-2024-Invitation

Since 1982, the R-mb-ger Family Association has preserved the family tree, and held reunions for descendants of Barthel who arrived in the US in 1753. The reunions have helped fund overseas family research while giving cousins a way to stay connected with one another. While over the years the family name has morphed to include Romberger, Ramberger, Rumberger, Rambarger, Rombarger, and Rumbarger, most people in the US with one of these names are descended from Barthel.
