FLEMMER FAMILY REUNION IN CRADOCK - 150 YEARS

The 150 Year Flemmer Reunion was held in Cradock over the Heritage Day weekend in March 2003.

The event started with a social get together on Friday evening 21st March - what a party and what better way to celebrate Heritage Day! The main events - the talks, the tours and the dinner were on Saturday 22nd and on Sunday some of the family went to Tafelberg Hall.

One of the pleasant surprises of the weekend was to meet up with McDonald 'McGyvir' Flemmer and family. McGyvir had made contact just before the Reunion on behalf of a family named Flemmer living in Cradock, with relatives in the area. His story is here on the site - click on the link below. It is not clear if this family is descended from the original Flemmer family, but McGyvir and his family came along to the Reunion anyway and were made very welcome. Steve is helping McGyvir to conduct the genealogical research to establish his line of descent.

The weekend was wonderful. Over 90 family members from Australia, England, Zimbabwe, Mozambique and all over South Africa. A great time was had by everyone. Read about it by clicking on the links below.
