Glattfelder Gazette Transistor (https://transistor.fm) https://feeds.transistor.fm/glattfelder-gazette The Glattfelder Gazette is a free weekly email newsletter and accompanying podcast that tells the story of the Glattfelder family — one short, readable story at a time. Each issue delivers a single story drawn from more than 280 years of family history, designed to be read in about five minutes. It's not a genealogy database or a research journal. It's a storytelling vehicle designed to reach the thousands of Glattfelder descendants — many of whom carry different last names and have no idea how deep their family's story goes — and give them a reason to care about where they come from. ©2026 Casper Glattfelder Association of America 75ce6aa1-b45f-5a49-8a48-973eb24d112e yes e6fd1200-5c50-11f1-8ce0-b70c8d7a6d3e Meet the Glattfelder Gazette en Wed, 03 Jun 2026 12:05:44 -0400 Wed, 03 Jun 2026 12:06:10 -0400 https://glattfelder.news/subscribe https://img.transistorcdn.com/M4uSriQxIjLAFbwyNqQ2EI9a_dROanXlRknOdk2lU-4/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:1400/h:1400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9hOTE5/NzczZTg3MWU2ZDM1/MjAwMWYzZjRlYTdl/ZDg2Mi5wbmc.jpg Glattfelder Gazette https://glattfelder.news/subscribe episodic Casper Glattfelder Association of America The Glattfelder Gazette is a free weekly email newsletter and accompanying podcast that tells the story of the Glattfelder family — one short, readable story at a time.

He died near Basel, before they reached the open water — and the family turned back, against the current of everything they had planned, to bury him at home.

This is the story of how the American branch of the Glattfelder family nearly ended before it began, and the one decision, by one other person, that kept it alive.

Hundreds of us are here because of what happened next.


That’s the kind of story the Glattfelder Gazette tells. Every week we take one ancestor out of the reunion programs, the family histories, and the letters nobody had opened in decades, and we tell their story the way you’d tell it across a kitchen table. Not a lecture. Not a museum tour.


Whether your name is spelled Glattfelder, Glatfelter, Clodfelter, Gladfelter, or any of the other ways it has traveled, this is where the family sits down and talks about where it came from.


The first episode arrives July 25, 2026, and a new story follows every week.
