Lemee see if I can do this in chronological order: Josephine Boyle was my greatgrandmother. She married George Myers (I've also seen it spelled Meyers)and begat my grandmother, Cecelia Agnes Myers, my great uncle George Benjamin and my great aunt Adele. Josephine died when my grandmother was about 10 (1918?). I have no idea where she was interred. George Myers remarried, a school teacher named Florence, and they had a son. I don't remember his name. I believe Great-grandfather lived the remainder of his life in Fernley, NV. I lived in his house when I was a child. Great-grandfather died around 1960 and is buried in Fallon, NV. Florence preceded him and is also buried in Fallon. My grandmother married a Danishman in 1928 named Jen Hans Jensen; they had 6 children: Johanna (died at age 10), James (passed at 77 last December), Peter (stillborn), Mary Jo, Bertha (my mother, who died in 1989), and George (who died in 2003). Cecelia Agnes Jensen died in 1978, and is also buried in Fallon. George Myers II was married to a lady named Trudy. They had a son, Frank, and lived in Lovelock NV for as long as I could remember. George owned and operated the gas company in Lovelock. Trudy passed; George remarried a lady name Emily, I think, in the early '70's. I'm fairly certain they are both gone by now. But I believe Frank is still around. Cecelia Boyle married Frank Myers. The only child of this marriage that I know for sure was a daughter I knew as Aunt Jo. She and my grandmother could have passed for sisters, they looked so much alike. She married a man named Ed Paulsen and they had two sons, Sonny and Michael. Both Aunt Jo and Uncle Ed have passed. I don't know when. Family rumors have the Myers Brothers as jacks-of-all-trades: miners, loggers, and muleskinners. They owned or worked property all over the Sierras. My grandmother was born in Loyalton. My uncle Jim once took me on a road trip to Graegle, where we apparently also had some family dealings. In doing a search of Sierra Nevada history, I came upon a couple of names in the Shasta County registry. Whether they are related, I couldn't say, but it seems possible.There is a recorded marriage between a George Boyle and a Carrie L. Meyers. George Boyle Meyers died in 1907 and is also buried in Sierraville. I know Kate Boyle had a pretty substantial spread in Sattley. I'd like to know a little more about her. There is a James Boyle (1876) interred in the same Sierraville cemetery. There is also a Turner connection: While I was growing up, my grandmother's cousin, Jim Turner, was a frequent visitor. I don't remember much in detail about him. He'd had a growth (cancer) removed from his bottom lip and had a distinctive look about him as a result. There are a couple of references in the Sierra County historical registry to an older James Turner who I believe was a miner. Well, that's all I got. How about you? (p.s. if we're related or if you can fill in some holes, this is terribly exciting for me!) My name is Lisa. I have 3 children of my own and 3 grandchildren. I'd love to add some branches to their tree. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
