When
we established the site, we had no idea that there would be so many visitors to
the site - over 93,000 'hits' in 2008. These are not necessarily from Flemmer
Family members; many arelikely to be from researchers looking for their own genealogical
information. Whoever the visitors are, the cost of running the site was greater
than we had bargained on and there is no way we can make vistors pay!
When
this first became apparent, we put out an appeal to Family Members, offering memorabilia
from the 150 Reunion and asking for a donation of R60 each. Our thanks to all
who responded, whose names are listed below.
Many
of those who replied gave more than the minimum and their stellar response is
recognised accordingly.
As
time went by and the funds started running dry, we put out a second appeal. The
response wasn't as good the second time around, but our thanks go to those who
responded, whose names are listed below.

The
last mentioned is a reference to a family member whom Steve couldn't identify
from the payment details. Whilst we were very grateful for all contributions,
there was only enough in the kitty to keep the site going until September 2008,
so a third appeal was launched, with even less of a result than the second. The
only respondents being

Again,

to these generous family members, but.....gratitude don't butter no turnips, so
please chip in your bit. Just mail me - Steve
