Kronenberger Family Reunion In Bremond

Current Events, Reunions / By James Smock / September 29, 2009

On Saturday, September 26. 2009, I joined about 120 descendants of Martin, John, Albert and Joseph Kronenberger at their family reunion held in St. Mary’s Catholic Church Family Recreation Center in Bremond, Texas. The Kronenberger brothers settled in Bremond after immigrating from the Austrian partition of Poland in the early 1900’s. Their descendants married into many of the old Bremond Polish families so there were a lot of familiar names at the reunion. There was lots of good food, fun and conversation throughout the day as well as plenty of family photos and documents on display.

Below are a few photos of the fun:
