A Reunion was held for the descendants of George Kolosché, an early Wendish settler, on Saturday 4th October 2014.  George Kolosché migrated to South Australia from Werben in 1854.  In 1859 he married Augusta Henel in Blumberg (now Birdwood), South Australia.  Descendants gathered at his grave site in Birdwood Lutheran Church cemetery at Birdwood to commemorate the 160th anniversary of his arrival in Australia.  The Reunion commenced at 11.00 am with the unveiling of a plaque.  For further details contact Andrew Kollosche.  Email:  andrew@kolloschefamilytree.com
