I have just been notified by Bram Pater that on April 10th the new website will be up and functional.
www.fam-org-pater.nl is the place to go for all the information on the Pater family. There is no charge for research into our forefathers who are deceased. Those that are still living will not be listed.
There also will be a place on the site for those of you who are kind enough to give a little of your hard earned cash to further the work that is being done on our behalf on this site. While you are considering a donation please also consider a subscription to the Paterje. This is actually a fee for membership to the society and their quarterly magazine. I will gladly give of my time to instruct you on how to interpret their magazine. There is always something in every issue on our family tree due to the hard work of Bram and there is also much written about other families that share our family name in Holland. There is an interesting story of the beggars prison in the March issue and an article on the skating awards won by some of the Pater family which held a great interest to me as one of our grandchildren has also excelled in the skating sports.
While on the site you will see the e-mail address of Bram Pater who most of you met at the 100th reunion. He always welcomes exchanges of information on our family tree. Any newspaper articles on accomplishments of our family or news of weddings, births and deaths are always welcomed to keep the tree up to date.
I share in the excitement of the Paters of Amerongen and the other Pater families as the new webpage continues to evolve. If it were not for the internet we would have missed out on much of our family information in our lives. This was all done in celebration of their 25th anniversary of the organisation and I wish Karla and I could have been able to attend. One day in the future we will be knocking on Bram and Coby’s front door and will attend their celebration as they have attended ours.
