Suzie and all, Shew, I have my dad.. who's a MYERS - GA, TN, VA, PA. My dad's side married into MOYERS of TN, VA. Both sides of the MYERS/MOYERS married as well, into MYERS. Some of the MOYERS took the "O" out becoming MYERS. My mom's side - PA, VA, WV, OH, MD. My great grandmother's people, the THOMAS'S BROOKOVER'S married into MYERS in OH and WV, with ties from PA. Her husband, my great grandfather's people also married into MYERS from a totally different area of WV, but with OH and PA ties. My mom's father, my late grandfather's people, the SIMMONS ARBOGAST ANDERSON'S and many other related surnames also married into MYERS in WV, old VA, OH. My MYERS of Sevier Co., TN married into the MYERS from Blount Co., TN - people have been arguing over their ties for centuries... I can only say that it's assumable that if many MYERS m. MYERS from both counties time and time again over the centuries... well, somehow the blood mixed one way or the other making their descendants - MYERS, still with me here? Everytime I re-research into one of my many surnames, both paternal and maternal (especially my maternal - remembering that that's not where I got my name MYERS) I find over and over again more MYERS. I guess that makes me a real MYERS, but, my ggg James Napoleon MYERS is reportedly a WILLOUGHBY. Go figure. -- Chrystie MYERS - ROOTSWEB.COM List Administrator - [email protected] BROOKOVER, COWGER, KRABAL, MOYERS, MYRES, SWECKER
