Introduction

Click on any picture to enlarge

We are a most unusual family. Of that there can be no doubt.

Tonight, we will again present the story of the Mishpacha of Ruchel and Isaac of Bogria. This is a story that we have told before. The version that you are seeing tonight is a modification with most interesting additions. And, if you are interested in more family history, get the 1996 Family book.

We asked for pictures to be sent to us of the younger generations and their accomplishments. We thank all those who responded. We will repeat this request in the future and give those who did not get new material to us, a chance to appear in the next “Presentation". We have also collected some additional material that will have to be published --wartime stories, Holocaust, survival. Immigration, They are truly inspiring.
