OVERMYER FAMILY NATIONAL REUNION

On September 16, 1751 our emigrant ancestor, John George Obermayer arrived at the British colony of Pennsylvania, in North America. Traveling several thousand miles through a series of connecting voyages beginning in Germany, he arrived in a new land a 125 days later. What a tremendous journey of courage our common ancestor committed himself to. His contemporaries described him as steadfast, honest, trustworthy and industrious. These personal attributes accredited to him proved to be true. He and his family helped pioneer a new country and way of life for the many generations that have followed.

Over 250 years have passed since the heroic beginnings of our courageous forebears. A grassroots group of Overmyer descendants have organized a 2009 National John George Overmyer Family Reunion. A large portion of the reunion events and activities will focus on the awesome heritage we enjoy. The reunion will be a three day event starting July 24, and ending July 26, 2009. We have reserved the Fulton County Historical Society Museum and Living History Village. Fulton County is in Rochester, Indiana.

At that historic reunion the now well circulated Overmyer History and Genealogy book was introduced.
