Surnames: Hill and Merillat Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/hFB.2ACE/1755 Message Board Post: My name is Lois Hill DeVuyst, Denzil Leroy Hill was my biological father he died in Jan 1997 near Williamston Mi. My parents were married in Oct 1935, I was born in Sept 1936. They were seperated at that time and later divorced so I never new him. I am interested in finding ancestry facts. I do know that he was born in either Isabella or Midland county rather than St Louis Mi (Gratiot county). He had no other children. His, grandparents were Carrington and Martha Hill - Paul and Lydia J. Merillat. I believe they were all born in Ohio and families migrated to Michigan. His parents were Edward H. and Edith A. Merillat Hill, they had six children Rex, Thora, Denzil, Iris, Laura. Allen and Donna. I do know that around 1940 he and his mother lived in or near Williamston. Also, the 1920 census has the family listed as living in Ingham County. Does anyone have info on this family, if so I would appreciated hearing from you. Thank you.
