Let me remind everyone that I've now uploaded the ".txt" (text) file to my website where I'll be periodically (when time allows) uploading the "Genealogy of the MEYER Family - by Henry MEYER 1890" for all to download and print-out with wondeful thanks to Gary MYERS of OH whom was so kind and gracious to send a coppy of the book to me. He has given me permission to reprint this old gem. There is alot of mention in the beginning regarding how his ancestors and current family used many different variation's of the surname MEYER from MIER to MOYER, MYRES and MAYER and states that MAHER was the orginal spelling. You'll find the the text at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~chrystiem/meyerbook.txt and if that does not work just goto my mainsite at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~chrystiem/myersfam.html and look for the link to the MEYER BOOK - (which is in no way near finished) but bookmark the site and check back weekly as I'll do my very best to continue typing the book til it's there for all to read - very very interesting lineage. I'm forwarding the MEYER BOOK to all of the newsgroups above because my personal lineage shows that the BROOKOVER'S COWGER and SWECKERS married into MYERS in old VA, now WV ca 1750-1880 and thought it would be of interest to all. -- Chrystie MYERS List Administrator at [email protected] SWECKER BROOKOVER MOYERS MYRES KRABAL COWGER
