September 2008
Another month has passed,
Here are the Highlights & Happenings
This past month has been extremely busy & hectic as well!
Dan & I have been traveling & entertaining Family & Friends. We thoroughly enjoyed a Visit from my Sister Jo-Anne's, friends Helle,Peter,Michelle & Caroline Hansen from Denmark(the Country) we nicknamed them the "Vikings" what a blast we had.
Next comes the Lincoln Kermiss on August 24th. We always looked forward to this special event as we were growing up we always got a new dress for the event & usually my Mom would have an extra celebration for My Sister Jo-Anne & Myself for our Birthdays. this year I almost didn't attend due to My Dad taking ill & was in Hospital for almost a week from internal bleeding. Dad is recovering fairly well but we all got a huge scare!!! I did end up going to Kermiss after mulling it over & over in my mind & as it turned out I feel glad I did go. It gave me a well deserved break from the hospital walls & also there were many relatives that attended that wouldn't have come had it not been that I had asked them.. I truly thank & appreciate my Sisters Ida, Mary & Jo-Anne for keeping the day & night vigil at the hospital & giving my Dad the moral support he needed in such a scary time!! Kudos to you all!!!
I'd like to acknowledge the relatives I met up with at the Kermiss...
Many I had never met before, so it was quite exciting, 1st of all I talked with Emmy Fameree-Hanamann & her Daughters Renee & Children & Kelly & Children. Emmy is recovering nicely after her 2nd Kidney Transplant, she was in great spirits & feeling good. she & her Husband Rudy are in the process of building a new home & always keeping busy. I also want to try to introduce her daughter Kelly to Kathy Ducat, they live in the same town, and I hope to connect them so maybe they can share a ride back home in future. It's on my TO DO LIST.

I had a nice talk with Denise Collins & her Granddaughter Alexis (who is quite the talker for a 5 year old)
Kathy Ducat, her partner Jim & her dog Elisabeth were also there, as well as Kathy's Daughter Melissa her Husband Levi & their 2 children Ian & Lundyn, Kathy's Sister Lynn & new husband Robert & Lynn's children. We were able to have a short visit.
I then talked with Dennis & Linda Arendt, I really enjoyed talking with them & wish I had more time to visit.
One of my co-workers At Taubensee Steel Dan Collins & his wife Diane who have a 2nd home in Baileys Harbor Wis stopped by & we were able to visit briefly with them also.
While talking with them another relative Marie Pierre-Koch came up to me & introduced herself after finding out what I was wearing & What I looked like from some of the Parrish ladies. Marie then introduced me to Her Husband Craig, Father Wayne & Mother Joyce Her Sister Amy we were able to enjoy a short visit, but it was so nice to meet Wayne & his family Wayne is the son of Mary Fameree Pierre who is the Daughter of Frank & Ernestine Fameree, We discussed going to Belgium in 2009 & also getting together to learn how to make Belgian pies together. Wayne & I even exchange a few Walloon words together. It really is quite fulfilling getting to know this extended family we have. it was allot of fun even though I had my Dad in my thoughts the whole time...Thanks again to all to came to the Kermiss.

The email below is from Jane Fameree-Hafeman
Hi Everyone, Sarah and I are informing all of you about the PKD (Polisystic Kidney Disease) Walk that is held in Green Bay.
We formed a Team last year (Sarah & Andrew, Jody & Peter, and Barry and myself). We call our selves The Orville & Mike Fameree Bunch.
We wanted to walk in remembrance of them. The Walk this year is on Saturday September 20th, 2008 at Colburn Park in Green Bay. Registration is at 9:00am and the Walk is at 10:00am. We are hoping that you can join us this year. We understand if you can't make it. Alot of you live farther away. The cost to walk is $15.00 each (Adult) and includes a PKD Walk T-shirt. We will get more info to you as it becomes available. We all know how PKD runs in our Family & we all know the importance of finding the Gene that carrys this horrible disease, so we are asking for your help by Walking With Us or Collecting Donations or Finding Cooperate Sponsorship and Most importantly Your Prayers. For those of you who can't make it, we will walk for you. Could you inform your immediate family about the date and time of the walk. Thank You for taking the time to read this. Love, Sarah & Jane
I then forwarded this email to all of you & I will continue to include it until the walk!!

"The Responders"
Daryl Barnbouse from Arkansas wrote
I’ve got a correction for you on your Family Tree page http://gw.geneanet.org/jfameree . I did a surname search for COLLIN and the page returned a listing for COLLINS. The entire family line down from Antoine & Elizabeth Vandervest should be listed as Collin except Eugene John Collins’ family. How can this be you might ask?
Eugene John Collins’ birth certificate should have read COLLIN but in error it read COLLINS and was never corrected, thus his SS card, marriage license and everything else followed with COLLINS. All of his ancestors, brothers and sisters and their family lines are spelled without the “S”. Thanks Daryl
I responded
I appreciate the information, all this time I always knew that Gene spelled his last name with an s at the end, but I never heard the story on how he was the only one.
I will update the Geneanet files.
I tried to merge our 2 GEDfiles together but could not get it to work, so I went thru & manually input the info.
Have you all had any Vacations this summer?
Do you have any family pix? I would love to share with our Virtual Family...
What did you think of our August posting?
Take good care Daryl & Hello to Tammy & Girls.
Sincerely, Jeanne
Daryl replied
I enjoyed the August post, but I got confused. I didn’t recognize the Phil in the photo of Kathy and her riding partner Phil. When I read the photo caption, I was think Phil as in Kathy’s brother and that wasn’t his photo. It turned out to be a different Phil. Yes we were in Wisconsin July 13th through 19th. I’ll have get back to you with a photo.
I then received an email from Annie Fammeree from Hamme-Mille Belgium
Dear Jean,
Many thanks for the birthday wish.
We wish you also a great day for you and all your family.
All my best, Annie
After sending an informative email regarding our mission, I then receive an email from Andy Naze from Luxemburg, Wisconsin
Thanks for the information.... I would like to be included in any e-mails, newsletters, etc. Thank you. Andy Naze
After an email was sent out from Richard to Simon Rigot in Brussels Belgium, he responded.
You know Richard, Lydia mentioned last week the possibility of coming to Chicago this winter afterChristmas.I'll go to the MySPace from home (Now I'm at the office)Simon
I replied
That would be so cool to meet you here in Chicago!!! If time permits it would very nice to drive you to Wisconsin to meet my Dad &You can see for yourself where the Fameree's settled in Wisconsin, (my Dad isstill on the land that our ancestors settled directly from the voyage fromAntwerp in 1856!!!Take good care & keep in touch.Oh by the way have you visited our Blog site? What do you think?Sincerely, Jeanne Fameree
Then Richard replied
Dear Simon, Thank goodness Jean forwarded her response. I did not receive your initial email!? I've had these email glitches with Fred sometimes, too.WE WOULD LOVE IF YOU WOULD VISIT CHICAGO THIS WINTER. . . OR ANYTIME.Please ask Lydia to find Northwestern University on a map quest. It is veryclose to the Bahai Temple we visited during your last visit. *"Round round get around. . . . ") We live in a lovely area [actually older and nicer than Oak Park] and in alovely apartment she will adore. Rachel has far better taste than me and themice at the barn! Jean and Dan live just up the road. We'll have so much fun! Please bring Louis if possible. !!!! And Jean, we want to visit Wisconsin, too! Love to all from all, Richard
Simon then responded to Richard & I
Hello Jean, Hello Richard, Indeed I had an error message on Richard's mail. Maybe Jean you can also forwardthis mail to Richard to be sure. And if it's the case Richard maybe you shouldmake you another E-Mail for us europeans on a GMAIL or MSN or Yahoo.Anyway, I copied your answer to Lydia and we'll figure it out this weekend. You knowwe are busy with our adoption project, but still don't have any kind of newsand I think it won't be before next year. So indeed it's the right time to come to Chicago and have a journey to Wisconcintoo. I'll see what we can do, and let you know.Jean, I have seen the blog of course, very warm, nice and it gives a "family"feeling anyway. Richard I'll go to the mySpace soon and leave some tracesLove from sunny brusselsSimonPS Richard you will love to see your cousin Simon in his silly outfit of"Diabolik" on the Belgian Beer Festival in Shoreham-by-sea" .

Linda & Dennis Arendt sent the following note regarding the Kermiss
Dennis and I plan on coming to the outdoor mass.It's also our 100 year centennial for Luxemburg this weekend..
Amy Pierre-Brownson sent the following note
Jeanne,
It was nice to meet you today. It was fun to watch Dad talking with his cousins. We went to visit some after the Kermiss. You never know, we may get to Belgium yet.... Amy
I replied to Amy
I cant tell you how pleasant it was to meet & talk with you all.I'm sorry I couldn't stay longer.I definitely hope to get the Belgium trip together I will probably start just after the holidays. Also, maybe we can get together for a Belgian pie "Make & Take"Dad is out of intensive care, but still in the hospital. They still have not identified the source of his internal bleeding but suspect it to be in the small intestine area... I hope your week is going well & I will keep in touch. Take good care! Sincerely, Jeanne Fameree-Miller
Amy replied
Jean,I couldn't believe that my Dad said yes to Belgium. We have been trying to get him interested in it for awhile. So you must have said the right thing : -) He was really happy to see his cousin at the Kermiss. Yes, Let's do the Belgian pie making. I will talk to my cousin Mary Ann. She is the expert. I would be happy to offer my house. Maybe we could do it before the holidays in early Dec? Take Care and Hope you had a nice holiday weekend. Amy

"The Responders"
Daryl Barnbouse from Arkansas wrote
I’ve got a correction for you on your Family Tree page http://gw.geneanet.org/jfameree . I did a surname search for COLLIN and the page returned a listing for COLLINS. The entire family line down from Antoine & Elizabeth Vandervest should be listed as Collin except Eugene John Collins’ family. How can this be you might ask?
Eugene John Collins’ birth certificate should have read COLLIN but in error it read COLLINS and was never corrected, thus his SS card, marriage license and everything else followed with COLLINS. All of his ancestors, brothers and sisters and their family lines are spelled without the “S”. Thanks Daryl
I responded
I appreciate the information, all this time I always knew that Gene spelled his last name with an s at the end, but I never heard the story on how he was the only one.
I will update the Geneanet files.
I tried to merge our 2 GEDfiles together but could not get it to work, so I went thru & manually input the info.
Have you all had any Vacations this summer?
Do you have any family pix? I would love to share with our Virtual Family...
What did you think of our August posting?
Take good care Daryl & Hello to Tammy & Girls.
Sincerely, Jeanne
Daryl replied
I enjoyed the August post, but I got confused. I didn’t recognize the Phil in the photo of Kathy and her riding partner Phil. When I read the photo caption, I was think Phil as in Kathy’s brother and that wasn’t his photo. It turned out to be a different Phil. Yes we were in Wisconsin July 13th through 19th. I’ll have get back to you with a photo.
I then received an email from Annie Fammeree from Hamme-Mille Belgium
Dear Jean,
Many thanks for the birthday wish.
We wish you also a great day for you and all your family.
All my best, Annie
After sending an informative email regarding our mission, I then receive an email from Andy Naze from Luxemburg, Wisconsin
Thanks for the information.... I would like to be included in any e-mails, newsletters, etc. Thank you. Andy Naze

You know Richard, Lydia mentioned last week the possibility of coming to Chicago this winter afterChristmas.I'll go to the MySPace from home (Now I'm at the office)Simon
I replied

Then Richard replied
Dear Simon, Thank goodness Jean forwarded her response. I did not receive your initial email!? I've had these email glitches with Fred sometimes, too.WE WOULD LOVE IF YOU WOULD VISIT CHICAGO THIS WINTER. . . OR ANYTIME.Please ask Lydia to find Northwestern University on a map quest. It is veryclose to the Bahai Temple we visited during your last visit. *"Round round get around. . . . ") We live in a lovely area [actually older and nicer than Oak Park] and in alovely apartment she will adore. Rachel has far better taste than me and themice at the barn! Jean and Dan live just up the road. We'll have so much fun! Please bring Louis if possible. !!!! And Jean, we want to visit Wisconsin, too! Love to all from all, Richard
Simon then responded to Richard & I

And if it's the case Richard maybe you shouldmake you another E-Mail for us europeans on a GMAIL or MSN or Yahoo.Anyway, I copied your answer to Lydia and we'll figure it out this weekend. You knowwe are busy with our adoption project, but still don't have any kind of newsand I think it won't be before next year. So indeed it's the right time to come to Chicago and have a journey to Wisconcintoo. I'll see what we can do, and let you know.Jean, I have seen the blog of course, very warm, nice and it gives a "family"feeling anyway.

Linda & Dennis Arendt sent the following note regarding the Kermiss
Dennis and I plan on coming to the outdoor mass.It's also our 100 year centennial for Luxemburg this weekend..
Amy Pierre-Brownson sent the following note
Jeanne,
It was nice to meet you today. It was fun to watch Dad talking with his cousins. We went to visit some after the Kermiss. You never know, we may get to Belgium yet.... Amy
I replied to Amy
I cant tell you how pleasant it was to meet & talk with you all.I'm sorry I couldn't stay longer.I definitely hope to get the Belgium trip together I will probably start just after the holidays. Also, maybe we can get together for a Belgian pie "Make & Take"Dad is out of intensive care, but still in the hospital. They still have not identified the source of his internal bleeding but suspect it to be in the small intestine area... I hope your week is going well & I will keep in touch. Take good care! Sincerely, Jeanne Fameree-Miller
Amy replied
Jean,I couldn't believe that my Dad said yes to Belgium. We have been trying to get him interested in it for awhile. So you must have said the right thing : -) He was really happy to see his cousin at the Kermiss. Yes, Let's do the Belgian pie making. I will talk to my cousin Mary Ann. She is the expert. I would be happy to offer my house. Maybe we could do it before the holidays in early Dec? Take Care and Hope you had a nice holiday weekend. Amy
