Our last Bradt Family Reunion (BFR) was held 20-23 July, 2017 at the Desmond Hotel & Conference Center in Albany, New York. With over 100 family members enjoying 3 days of fun filled activities and guest speakers who provided unique perspectives into the early colonial/Dutch history of the Hudson River Valley. The reunion theme was "Rediscovering the Hudson River Valley." We want to thank our past President, Barbara Bradt Long, and her dedicated and supportive committee members for a very successful reunion, THANK YOU!!
