Vast Hoelscher Buxkemper clan gathers in Texas for reunion
About 1200 descendants attended a two day Hoelscher Buxkemper family reunion at Willita Assembly Hall in San Antonio. Descendants traced back to Anton and Mary Katherine Hoelscher who moved from Olsen Westphalia in 1846. Generations four through eight were represented with priests and nuns noted among members. Awards will honor oldest woman and man, youngest child, longest married couple, newest newlyweds, farthest traveler, and largest family.
