Hi, Christie: I have sent my name in before but was never recognized that I knew of. I read most all the letters & enjoy them & check out some of the lists. I am doing Myers research, too Marie [Myers] whatley ----- Original Message ----- From: "chrystiem" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, January 27, 2001 7:25 PM Subject: Re: [MOYERS] Pat ourselves on the back. > Linda and gang, > > Like people, groups of any kind are and should all be different.

Marie MYERS WHATLEY, Hi Marie and glad to hear from you. What part of the country are your MYERS from. Why don't you tell us what states you're MYERS are concentrated in; migration or who you're brickwall is. Maybe someone out here can help, you never know. Where you're MYERS surname always spelled as such, that you know of. Again, glad to hear from you and hang around - I'll be quite awhile getting the MEYER book out here for all of you to read; I'm recopying it to another file where I'll place it on the MYERS GENEALOGY website for all to see, read, download and print-out - Just goto myersgenealogy.com and look down aways for the NEW MEYER BOOK - click on this link and bookmark the site so you can return when I have the writing in it's entirety uploaded.

Hi, Christie: Thanks for answering my message. My grandfather, Jacob Alfred Myers was born in Zanesville, Ohio, August 2, 1843. I don't know any farther back than that as I don't know his parents names. His anscestors may have spelled it differently. My dad, Fred Thomas Myers, was born in Russellville, Arkansas, but mostly was raised in Ft Smith, Ark. I don't know if they came thru Missouri to Ark. or thru the south. I was born in Van Buren, Arkansas, but was raised just across the line in Oklahoma. I have been in Washington State since 1946, but still have relatives in Okla. & Ark. I didn't know so many Myerses existed or that there were so many different spellings. Any help from anyone will be greatly appreciater.
