I was hoping something would match with mine (because I have hit a brick wall), but nothing fits in with mine. . . . although I live 5 miles from Little Washington. My dad was George Meyers; his mother was Susanna Bauer (or Spang) Meyers; his father was August Meyers. I can't even find a death certificate for August - born approx 1876, nor can I find out where he is buried. I did find out that my Grandmother Susanna (whom I'm named after), is buried in Beaver, PA cemetery. I was able to get a death certificate on her, but something is fishy. It has her father's name as William Bauer, born in Germany, but her mother's name unknown, also born in Germany. In the 1920 Census my Grandmother lists her birthplace as Prussia, Germany. That's as much as I can find out. Also, my dad had an older brother, August who would have been born around 1903. He was in the Merchant Marines in the 50's, and all of a sudden was missing. We have no idea how he died, when he died, or where he died and is buried. I wrote to the Merchant Marines, and they won't release any information. All of his brothers and sisters are dead, he was never married, so his nieces and nephews are his next of kin, and they won't release it without a court order. I am obsessed with cracking this one! Oh well, sorry none of your Meyers' are part of mine. If you come across anything that fits into mine, I would truly appreciate you e-mailing me. Thanks, and have a great day, Sue -----Original Message----- From: jeweler@eaze.net [mailto:jeweler@eaze.net] Sent: Monday, July 09, 2001 6:12 PM To: MEYERS-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [Meyers] Lydia Meyers, PA. Wash.., Butler cnty? Please check and see if any of these names fit in your line of Meyers. My grandfather is James Cornelius (went by an alias last name). born Jan. 2, 1907 in Little Washington or Butler, PA (possibly). His mother was Lydia (maiden name unknown) who married a Meyers, so My grandmother knew her as Lydia Meyers. She can not remember Mr. Meyers first name. He had brothers and sisters (some are half): Earl, Pearl, Merle, Harvey, Gladys, and Walter. Walter took on the last name of his mother's second husband...Meyers is the name. Jack served in the service in Panama in around 1925. He had married twice, maybe. Jack's mother's first name was Lydia. Pearl married a man named Keepman. I have a few pictures of Jack, Harvey, Pearl, etc. I have pictures of Mr. Meyers also, and will send a computer picture if any of this info matches your research. In the large picture of him that I have, he has white hair combed straight back, dark eyebrows, and is probably in his sities. I am very sorry that I don't have more to go on, but my grandfather changed his name, possibly because of a "bench warrant" for beating his stepfather (again, sorry). Does any of this connect with anyone's research?
