Welcome Laquer family members!
We are planning a reunion in New York City July 10-13, 2020. We hope you can join us.
This will mark the 80th anniversary of the arrival of the Fritz Oskar Laquer family in the United States on July 15, 1940.
We're planning a very special visit to Ellis Island, where Fritz entered the US. We'll have a guided tour and find his name on the digital immigrant database. This tour requires advanced registration with the names and ages of attendees. Please RSVP by December 1, 2019.
