Chrystie, Would you mind keeping your eye out for Christian Myers, b. 1771 in York Co. PA? He ended up moving to Rockingham, VA, where he died. His father was Christian Kauffman Myers, b. 1751 in York Co. PA. Christian K. Myers' father was also named Christian, and he died in 1779 in York Co. Thanks!

Ce la vie! That's just the way it goes. So, I'm out here if anyone needs me. Good thing I didn't pack the dog and cats yet. Tomorrow I'll be at the Enoch Pratt library and I will be looking for Gasper, Casper, Henry and Jacob MOYER MIER MEYER MYERS from PA to MD and back. Will report my findings by Sunday evening. ;) They have some pretty good household records right down to their addresses from old Frederick (downtown) and along old Rt. 40 into PA. Baltimore always housed the main records going back to the earliest of times. It's a wealth of information in Baltimore... funny that I see a rare amount of people there, even on a Saturday. Even stranger to me anyway is that most Baltimorians / Marylandiers look at me rather oddily when I mention "genealogy" but it's probably like that in most large cities. I'll check the email in the morning before I go for any last request/lookups. I have a list of printouts dating back to last year in my brief - I'm always scanning over the names people ask me to look for. So I may seem slow but it's only because I haven't seen anything on them. Below you'll find something regarding the Library of Congress ca1818. Do a search for George MYERS - he's on the list of whom signed this bill in 1818. Enjoy. ************* H.R. Journal--SATURDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1821. >From the Library of Congress.
