I'm so confused when it comes to this spelling. My great grandfather is Edward Meyer. His parents were John and Barbara Meyer. Barbara's maiden name was Meier. It shows that John Meyer was married also to a Augusta Maria Krakau, born in Switzerland. I've hit a stumbling block. Family stories say that Meyer is from Swiss Mennonite descent. My grandfather is Isaac Meyer, my father Harold Meyer. The "s" was added to Meyer in 1927/29 to soften the hardness of the name. I must admit that it's overwhelming doing this search! Any information you might have would be greatly appreciated. Carolyn Meyers Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
