Pauline- Well, I still don't know the exact connection of my MYERS line to Nicholas, Sr., but I'm pretty sure this is the right line for me based on geography and other factors. Often you will hear the Palatinate referred to in a generic sense to represent the origin of just about all of the early PADutch immigrants. Out of curiosity -- which of the Nicholas MEYER/MYERS served in the Revolution? I was never quite sure if it was Nicholas, Sr. or Jr. Do you have anything in your notes about Jacob (born 23 Sept. 1783), son of Johannes (oldest child of Nicholas MEYER, Sr.)? Or about any other Jacob in the area born around the same time for that matter. I know my Jacob MEYER/MEYERS/MYERS was born around 1786 according to the age given on the 1850 census for New Oxford, Adams County. I find several Jacob MYERS born within a few years of this date but have not been able to isolate which Jacob is mine. Johannes' son Jacob may be about the most likely to be my Jacob. Joan
