Surnames: Meister Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/3c.2ADE/808.1 Message Board Post: Pamela - This is the first time I've seen anyone mention Meister's from Switzerland. My father's family originated there, came to US in late 1800's, and settled in Flat Knobs, Ky. His name was Fred (Frederick/Godfred) and married to Mary Anna Kolarsch, died in 1902. He served in the Spanish American War. My father was born in Louisville, KY in 1899. And, this is all we really know about his family. If you have any info or leads, I would greatly appreciate hearing from you. Thankx, Carolyn
