Welcome to the official website for the von Rosenberg Family of Texas. The official von Rosenberg Family of Texas organization was
established May 7, 1939 in Round Top, Texas when the first family reunion
was held in an effort to get descendants of Peter Carl von Rosenberg and his
two wives Johanna Dorothea Froelich and Amanda Fallier together to organize,
get acquainted and form an official family reunion. Quoted from one of the
newspapers:
"Arranging the first annual reunion of descendants of Peter Carl von
Rosenberg, who emigrated to Texas from Germany in 1849, 150 men, women, and
children gathered in Round Top on Sunday for a day of picnicking. What
proved to be of unusual interest was a display of relics having historical
bearing on the original forebear. The display was overshadowed, however, by
the reading of old letters and newspaper clippings, replete with
extraordinary material".
The last section of Volume III has photos and newspaper articles for most
of the reunions held up to 1999 when the 150th celebration of arriving from
Texas was celebrated.
This site was created as an effort to help connect family members, share
photos and information, and provide genealogical information. It is a
continual work in progress. Please check in often for the most current
information on reunion activities, updates from the newsletter which is
mailed twice a year, and to purchase items from the Family Store.
