Susan Help type in MYERS where and set for La Salle CO. do you mean google usgenweb where ??? Susi
Christie we are all human with Human families. And people should remember we can only hope we can control ourselves verses worry over what others do did or we would run embarrased forever. HUGS susi
If you type in Myer and set for LaSalle Co. you get several Myer one Myerchin and even more Myers. Chrystie, part of Illinois is "south of the Mason-Dixon line" and therefore southern in accent and ways (Road Houses) and part is northern. I'm sitting right in the middle. If you did around in the Illinois database the marriage records are online. You can also search all the Illinois databases online by clicking on the globe in the upper left hand corner, course you have to find the right page :) Susan
Some of my MYERS that lived in East Tennessee moved on out to Illinois, too. My generation and at least another generation back, at the very least, moved out to ILL. Funny, but now Pigeon Forge (the area that surrounds areas they were brought up in) has become quite a tourist attraction as a few of my great aunts own thriving businesses down in those parts. Funny story. 4 years back I was typing away in my old but then very new genealogy program Familytree Maker, while an aunt in Georgia was gabbing away long distance on the phone with me, as many memories as she could remember, and any clues that might help me to find our lines (I begged for anything, what can I say), well, she wrote that one of my great aunts and husband had one of those "Road Houses". Now I live in Maryland and we have "Bars", "Taverns", "Inns", "Bar and Grills" and even the trendy "Pubs" but I was typing away trying not to miss a word. As a northern it's hard to understand southern slang (I know, I know, we have the accent, not them) but I knew little about Family tree Maker except how to choice the "Put your files Online" and Wa-Laa, there it was for the whole darn world to see. One night, my aunt calls me (My dad's sister) and she says to me (as gently and as southern-lady-like as she can without hurting my feelings) "Chrystie, dear, we were scouting around on that internet thing and we found your Family tree Site". "We're soooo proud of you, putting all of us out there for the world to see (gulp) but would you mind taking down the part about great aunt (so and so).. You know, the part about the Road house. As it is we don't all get along too good now down here and... Well, I hadn't even realized I typed it much less that it was online. And besides, I had no clue as to what a Road House was anyway. After she explained, and I was done cleaning up the coffee I had spitted out all over the rug, and then I went through that 1/2 hour of "laughing hysterically" at myself (you know, when you're too embarrassed to look at your own self in the mirror) I quickly got online and deleted it. Live and learn by Trial and Error. I have about 50 more just like the one above I could tell you about. P.S. Any MOYER(S) MYER(S) in ILLIONIS from Sevier, Blount, Knox Counties of Tennessee out here. If so, no disrespect intended as we're probably "kin" ;) -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Chrystie MYERS, ROOTSWEB LIST ADMINISTRATOR BROOKOVER - KRABAL - MOYERS LIST NEWSGROUPS -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- > From: SusiCP@aol.com > Reply-To: MOYERS-L@rootsweb.com > Date: Thu, 20 Jun 2002 16:11:31 EDT > To: MOYERS-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: Re: [MOYERS] Illinois research > Resent-From: MOYERS-L@rootsweb.com > Resent-Date: Thu, 20 Jun 2002 14:11:53 -0600 > > YAH YAH WHOOPEE, My PA MOYER changed at times to MYERS moved to ILL. parents > dying there.

Ok, all you Illinois Moyers, Meyers, Myers etc. Illinois has been adding to its online database and recently added the death index: http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/departments/archives/genealogy/forms/idphdea thsrch.html You can email for up to two free copies of death certificates. I have some found Hardin Co. Moyers that don't belong to me (as far as I know now) that I need to post to the line. Also finding a Moye family and wondered if this is another spelling. Another Illinois site to search if you haven't been there is www.iltrails.org. Glad to see Chrystie and this line going again. Gale, you still out there? Haven't heard from you in ages :) Susan
I have to remember that "IF" I ever decide to get married "AGAIN"...;) Hmmmmm, 50 - 50. I live in Maryland and didn't even know that Katie. Not that I'm considering walking down the long aisle ever again now but, you never know when cupid is going to pay you a call. So far it appears that we have: Maryland Tennessee Georgia As the states to marrying in "fast". But I wonder why my aunts tell me that in Tennessee they head for Georgia. Southwestern North Carolina folks do the same, as well. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Chrystie MYERS, ROOTSWEB LIST ADMINISTRATOR BROOKOVER - KRABAL - MOYERS LIST NEWSGROUPS -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- > From: "katie angermeyer" <angermeyer@hotmail.com> > Reply-To: MOYERS-L@rootsweb.com > Date: Thu, 20 Jun 2002 05:16:53 +0000 > To: MOYERS-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: Re: [MOYERS] Re: MOYER(S) - GA NC KY VA MD PA to MO IL OK TX CA > Resent-From: MOYERS-L@rootsweb.com > Resent-Date: Wed, 19 Jun 2002 23:16:51 -0600 > > Chrystie, > > When I lived in Kentucky, I heard that the place to get married was > Tennessee, because the age for marriage without parental consent was younger > than in KY.

SusiCP: regarding: "JOHN was born near the Cumberland Dauphin line. I am not sure where says near Harrisburg in bible. But JOHN with his mill in Rye Township Fishing Creek Valley as an adult is also near Harrisburg." I suspect your family Bible recording is accurate because Dauphin County in divided from Perry County by the wide (1 mile across) Susquehanna River, and Harrisburg in the early 19th century was nearly a day's journey from Fishing Creek Valley and the site of the mill. The early family would have thought the area distinction an important one. Barbara Rye Town, Perry Co
Chrystie, When I lived in Kentucky, I heard that the place to get married was Tennessee, because the age for marriage without parental consent was younger than in KY. Not sure of the exact time period of that particular marriage custom. Somebody surely would be able to tell which J.P.'s or marrying parsons were benefitting from the cross-border Marriage trade. Also in the 1970's, people from Virginia went to Maryland for divorces, because of the no-fault (50-50 split) divorce. State laws still vary on those rules.

NEW MEXICO used to have very young age for mar and drink in the 1950s so not sure about today. Susi
JOHN Myers was born near Harrisburg PA near county of Cumberland at that time now Perry Co. Lived Rye Township Fishing Creek Valley when had mill and married Sarah J FOLK< FOULK> They moved to ILL in 1860s or near then. Papers not in front of me. All children were in ILL, IA, KS, MIn, Canada for some kin. I made it all the way to CA ..AS did others. Susi
Christie, We know (??? rumor family says he had only 6 sisters , census proves this wrong) he had two older brothers and several younger and older sisters. YES JOHN was born near the Cumberland Dauphin line. I am not sure where says near Harrisburg in bible. But JOHN with his mill in Rye Township Fishing Creek Valley as an adult is also near Harrisburg. :>) HIs father's estate Valentine MOYER m to CAtherine JONES also is a mess, they can't find the records of data, but did find the records saying there was records more on him. County lost?? who knows.?? We do know Catherine was given the other property to live and raise kids on. But where is property where is data only the tidbit from court papers that leaves us dangling. Valentine's Father mentions Valentine in some papers or we would not be able to connect the two together. Then Valentine SR mentions Philip in papers also. Little links here and there. I hope before I leave again next week to get more data out to you all. Some of what is written in FRETZ papers does apply to my MOYERS directly. Don MOyers book also has a tidbit but the confusion on death and birth still applies in his records, as well. We have JOHN born 1809 from bible and tombstone seems Fretz has him born earlier. We do know bible is wrong on some data. NOW family is thinking the kids ggrands in 1870's wrote the data down as they remembered not as fact. IF I could find JOHN's sister who lived near him in ILLinios it might help they maybe had more accurate data. Enough tonite more tomorrow I hope. Susi
SOURCE: Encyclopedia of the Civil War Albert James MYER B 1829 - D 1880 A Union Officer in the Civil War, he was born in New York, and was an Army Surgeon whom helped develop the "Wig Wag" Flag-Signal System during the course of the war. He was the Army's first Signal Officer and served on the staffs of Benjamin BUTLER, Irvin MCDONWELL and George MCCLELLAN; he directed the Signal Corps listed under Signal Communications, before being assigned as Signal officer along the Mississippi. Fort MYERS, Virginia was named after Albert James MYER Signal Communications The Civil War saw many signal "firsts"; the first signal corps, the first air-to-ground telegraph, the first field-telegraph system and the earliest extensive use of electrical-telegraphy. The Union Signal Corps, established on June 21, 1860, was eventually restricted to visual signals, losing a struggle for primacy with the elaborate Military Telegraph System Corps, which was not established until 1862, developed a comparatively primitive set of communications. *NOTE: Please don't ask me what "Wig Wag" means... I'll assume it was the directional appearance of the "wave"... ;) -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Chrystie MYERS, ROOTSWEB LIST ADMINISTRATOR BROOKOVER - KRABAL - MOYERS LIST NEWSGROUPS -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
