Family Association Gräff-Graeff
The chairmanship and administration of the Family Association must not be confused with the function of a head of the whole family and their different branches. The Association also offers associate Memberships to the partners, children and grandchildren of Graeff members, as well as members of the family of Orsini-Rosenberg, who share the same ancestors as the Graeff family, the Von Graben. 2014 the Association founded branches in The Netherlands and South Africa with official representatives. That same year, members and representatives of the US-families Updegraff and Updegrove were also admitted as associate members into the Family Association. They are descendants from the originally Dutch-German Op den Graeff family, which according to their family tradition also descended from Wolfgang von Graben. The official statement of the family association on the Op den Graeff family states: The origin of the originally german or dutch Op den Graeff family from the von Graben family cannot be proven, since no source is given. This theory is only maintained by their descendants. The Association has around 150 members. In 2014, on the occasion of 530 years of family Graeff, a reunion took place at Schloss Kornberg in Styria, Austria, the former seat of Wolfgang von Graben. In 2022, Karl von Habsburg, head of the Habsburg-Lorraine family, the former Roman-German and Austrian imperial family, attended a presentation of the family flag with the dates of the anniversary.
