When sisters Cynthia, Lorraine and Merle Stehbens married the Pershouse brothers Noel, Colin and Gordon, they must have been intent on reducing the number of cousins their children would have. Nevertheless, their 13 children have so far produced 22 grandchildren and 1 great-grandchild and the family needs to organize a reunion so that everyone gets to know everyone else, even though each cousin is twice a cousin! This group of the Stehbens-Pershouse family attended the Stehbens Family Reunion held in Bundaberg, during January 2005. In the front row are (L-R) Brianna Pershouse, Barry Pershouse, Gillian Pratt, Janelle Bull, Petrina Pershouse, Mahali Morgan, Shelley Ingwirda, Talitha Pratt, Heidi Purkis and Rozanne Purkis. Behind are Merle Pershouse, Dimety Pershouse, Gordon Pershouse, David Pershouse, Lorraine Pershouse, Gregory Pershouse, Joel Pershouse, Ben Pershouse, Jeffery Pershouse, Hayley Pershouse, Ben with Aiden, Cynthia Pershouse, Peter Pershouse and Trevor Purkis. {LINEAGE: Cynthia, Lorraine & Merle Stehbens ds/o John W Stehbens s/o Wilhelm C Stehbens s/o Claus J Stehbens s/o Detlef Staeben s/o Frantz H Stebens]
