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.
