Surnames: Meyer Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/oh0.2ACEB/1686 Message Board Post: Seeking information on August Meyer, born abt. 1831 in Brunswick, Germany. Married a woman named Elizabeth (born abt. 1844) who was from either Germany or Hungary. The couple had 4 children: August (born abt. 1863 in MO), Mary (born abt. 1866 in MO), Lena (born abt. 1868 in MO), and Elizabeth "Lizzie" (born 9/1874 in KS). August, Sr. was a shoemaker. August, Jr. was a tobacconist in 1885. I've found them in 1875, 1880, and 1885 census', but haven't been able to get further back than 1875 and have no upline. Elizabeth married T.G. Hanna and I've got their descendants, but I'd like more info on her siblings and parents. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
