For more information on her family, log onto: http://suvcw.org/past/johndavidgross.htm. I also have the complete Gross family genealogy going back to 1650 in Miehlen, Germany but my research on the Conrad Meyer line stopped with Virginia and Dortha Gould who are the daughters of Albert Gould. Most of my recent information on the Meyer family, including Zyrilda's tragic death, was from a friend of Virginia's who lives in Michigan. Please tell ME more!
