Surnames: BEYER, BEIER, WILLIAMS, O'DONNEL Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/RGB.2ACI/386.2 Message Board Post: I found a couple more facts and thought I'd post them in case it sparks further responses. 1- Ernest BEYER's last name is generally spelled BEYER but he signed his name Ernest BEIER in 1884 on his citizenship intention form. 2 - Ernest BEYER's father, Henry BEYER was listed on the 1900 census (in the same household), he was born in 1822 in Germany. Please email me if you come across any of these names in your research. Thanks, Jim
