Gone With the Yagers: Tales of the Germanna Yager/Yeager Family
by Cathi Clore Frost
One of the fascinating aspects of Germanna is the history of the various individuals and families that are a part of the Germanna experience. The Yager Family cuts a broad swath across Germanna in no small part because of the very large number of Yager descendants that can be found around the country. A look at the story of this family and descendants will be riveting to any Yager descendant while also providing for non-descendants a great look at an American family. What will you learn at this presentation?
