Their life centered around Hebron Lutheran Church. Many more Germans, perhaps 100 families, continued to come to the west and north of Germanna until after the Revolution. The Carolinas and Kentucky received the first wave of Germanna descendants. Beyond Germanna is published six times a year with ten pages per issue. One year's volume costs twelve dollars and may be ordered from John Blankenbaker, with a check payable to him.
Back volumes are available at the same price.
There will be a Blankenbeckler Reunion in Willow Springs, Missouri, this coming Memorial Day weekend. The editor of Beyond Germanna , John Blankenbaker, expects to be there and plans on giving a talk. The Reunion is open to all Germanna people, not just Blankenbeckler descendants. A fifty-six page booklet, The Culpeper Classes , has been issued. This contains the more than fourteen hundred names in the militia of Culpeper County in 1781 who were divided into 106 classes.
