The association finds out about genealogy and
development of the different lines of descent as
well as the history of the name Grünhagen
(Grünhagen name). It will inform its members
on research findings and family news on a regular
basis. By issuing newsletters and meetings that
will take place every 3 years as a rule, distant
family members will get to know each other and thus
a sense of solidarity will be cultivated.
