First of all, the library there is WONDERFUL! The staff was very helpful. It was wonderful to have all the census and other microfilm at my fingertips. We were able to locate my Myers ancestors on the 1860, 1870, 1880, 1900, 1910 and 1920 censuses! While we were there, we also visited the Huntertown Cemetery, Dutch Ridge Cemetery, and saw the Dutch Ridge School, Salem Reformed (Dutch Ridge) Church, and the house and barn that Nathan Myers (or one of his children) built. Standing on the land was a thrill! While at Huntertown, I found more grave markers that "belong" to us. Someone has put flowers on many of the stones, so someone local is related. The problem, of course, is finding out who that person is! If anyone on the list knows of Myers researchers living in Allen County / Perry Township, I'd sure appreciate the network! I am going to write to the Huntertown Historical Society to see if they can help with any more information. There are lots and lots of Myers living in Allen County! All in all, I was very, very pleased with my trip. Downtown Fort Wayne was much nicer than I thought (I don't know what I had in mind, but I was pleasantly surprised). I hope to make it back there for another fact-finding trip. It is a 3-1/2 hour drive from my home. I wish it was closer. Anyway . . . I just thought I'd share with all of you my happy thoughts. Karen
