A Collection of Juers Stories
Last Update: April 4, 2020

This page is where people can contribute stories about their individual Juers family events that are significant in their lives... things they'd want further generations to learn about, good, bad or indifferent. Here, I'll also post stories I've been told, or various writings by family members.

Thanks!
