I have seen Urich(k) MYERS... on no. Here I go again. MYERS, on my maternal great grandparents side were from either Morgantown or areas in and around there. Some headed back to PA or strayed into OHIO. I use to travel up those parts way back when while my aunt did most of the genealogy work (I was a teenager an uninterested, just went along for the ride). I've asked this before but go for it again. To all reading. If anyone has MOYER / MYERS in WVA/OH see if you have any LEMLEY, THOMAS, BROOKOVER, WHITEMAN, STEWART, ANDERSON'S and SIMMONS married into them. If so, please let me know :) Chrystie MYERS BROOKOVER, COWGER, KRABAL, MOYERS, MYRES, SWECKER --------------------------- # --------------------------- Rootsweb List Administrator - [email protected] Homestead for MYERS GENEALOGY.COM at: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~chrystiem/myersfam.html > > Hi, It's been a while since I sent anything out her and hopefully someone > out there will have a connection.
