Meeting the Cousins in Steinfeld, Germany

 Andre Kobus, Fritz Schmätjen and Dolores Petit check out a model 1962 VW bus that represents the beginning of the Schmätjen bus company


 Dolores has a treasured painting showing family members at a backoffen, or baking oven. This one is similar and stands in front of the Schmätjen home


Discussing family history in the living room of the Schmätjen home

 Visiting a farmhouse that was restored by the family. The house dates from 1843.
