October 23, 2021 Martin Heiner Family Reunion
23 October 2021 - Big Octoberfest reunion in Salt Lake City, UT
Organized by our president, Kathleen Lindsay. It involved exhaustive work by Kathleen who worked with numerous professional filmmakers and media experts to produce a major reunion.
Dear Heiner Family members,
Happy Pioneer Day! This week we are honoring our Pioneer Heritage! We hope you will watch these three videos we made to honor Martin and Adegunda Heiner and their children who crossed the ocean and the plains and settled in Morgan Utah! Please share these with your family this pioneer weekend!
Sent with gratitude and love, Kathleen Lindsay- President
THE TREASURED DVD MOVIE OF OUR OCTOBERFEST REUNION - a huge thank you to Stuart King's great technological help!
The videos are all uploaded to the Martin Heiner Family YouTube Page

*Once we have 100 subscribers (family members) on our channel we can create a custom URL instead of this long letters/numbers one.
We're also trying to work on what's the best way to share the videos with the family without making them public to the world.
We've had concerns about it being a public page, so we're keeping the page private to protect the family. If anyone has input on this, we'd love feedback.
