      The 2009 LENERT family reunion was held on Saturday, May 16th, in a 
      change from our past custon of holding it on the Sunday before Father's
      Day. 

      It was again hosted by Charles and Cheryl Lenert at their home on
      FM 2920 out in the Hockley, TX area.  About 25 family members were
      in attendance -- an enjoyable time was had by all.

      Highlight of the day was our out of state Lenerts from California,
      Louisiana and New Mexico being in attendance.

      The reunion for 2010 will be held the middle of May; again at Charles
      and Cheryls on FM 2920 the Hockley, TX area.



                   Notes on the Lenert Family's Journey to Texas

         The Luenert's {Lenert} sailed from Bremen, Germany on September 19, 
      1846; Carl Heinrich Augustus and Sophie Elenore Augustine Molle Luenert/
      Lenert, with their three children, Ernst, Albert and Doretta.  Agnes was 
      born on the voyage. The Atlantic crossing took from three to four months; 
      and they arrived at the Port of Galveston on December 20, 1846.  August 
      was a miner by trade and had signed an emigration contract with a German 
      firm.  The overland destination was Round Top in Fayette County, Texas; 
      however the family was diverted to Austin County near the Latium community
      to await fulfillment of the contract.  After the failure of the contract;
      the family moved to near Round Top, where August purchased a farm.  Three
      more children were born to the couple; Mary, Anna and Louisa.  Both Agnes
      and Louisa died in childhood.  After the death of Sophie, August returned
      to his native Germany; Sophie is buried in the Florida Chapel Cemetary just
      south of Round Top.
