The First Jasiński Family Reunion
Jasionka, 21 July 2007 — more than 1100 people took part: relatives, friends and invited guests.
On 21 July 2007 the First Jasiński Family Reunion was held in Jasionka, the ancestral village. We thought of the reunion as a pilgrimage to our family roots. We rose above every division — the organisers carried everything off beautifully.
Thank you, worthy Relatives, for taking such an active part in this gathering. Let us hope that the young will follow your example and bear witness to you in the generations to come.
