Maybe this is a bad idea but what if somehow a list was started where we could list our Loys and there trail of migrations around Europe including how and when they came to the USA. I wonder if this would help us connect families more easily ? Example; From Where?+ When? to ->-Lebring, Styria, 1770's a Michael Loy and Barbara Feigel, had a daughter Catherine married Johann Pekar 1819 - in Gurahumoruli, Bukovina, Austria (now Romania) A son of this marriage, Joseph Pekar , from Paltinosa to Bremen to USA March 1888 on SS Fulda to New York. After a breif stays in ? Missouri and Aliceville, Coffey Co. Kansas, they settled in Chehalis Wa. Lewis Co.1889. Many other families along with other Loys from Bukovina followed to Chehalis in the next 30 years. Theresa, Elizabeth and Rudolph Loy were among these immigrants. the name Pekar changed to Baker after they arrived in Chehalis,Wa. Helen- Pekar-Loy->Baker White

Dear LOY Researchers, I believe this would be a perfect use of the LOY Biography board already set up on GenConnect at: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/surnames/l/o/LOY/biographies Delores is our gracious webmistress there - and all of the names become searchable on the website, as well as through Rootsweb's search engines.
