Etching Presented by Bogner Family to Village of Trockau in September 2007

In September 2007 Stephen and Audrey (Reyda) Bogner, traveling with Graham and Barbara (Schlenker) Skjenna, visited the old world home of the Bogner family in Trockau, Oberfranken, Bavaria, Germany.  On the occasion of this visit, Stephen was able to present a commemorative etching to the village of Trockau. 

"Presented by the Bogner Families of Canada and the United States, 

in remembrance of our ancestor Christopher Bogner, 

who left Trockau in 1839 for the American frontier. 

15 September 2007"

This etching is now held by the village library in Trockau.

At the same time, Stephen and Graham were honored to receive gifts of  beer steins from some of their new friends in Trockau and Buchanbach, the steins now being displayed prominently in their homes.
