I have found a letter, in German, dated Nov. 8, 1920. The letterhead says: Band and orchestra musicians Up-To-Date Repertoir Furnished for all occasions Neat Uniforms Meier's Band and Orchestra Ernest Meier manager and director Address: 1315 Spring Street Telephone: Main 19?6 Seattle, Washington There is a photo on the left of a man in a band uniform. This was among old family pictures, newspapers, clippings, cards, etc. I don't have any idea what it says since I don't know how to read or speak German. Hopefully, someone will let me know what it says, soon, as I have asked someone to look at it. They offered to try to translate the letter for me. I suspect that this was a letter to my great-grandparents, Emil Conitz, and his wife, Louise Meier who lived in Calvert, Texas. I'm sure that I heard the name, Ernest Meier and something about a band from my great-aunt, whose parents were Emil and Louise. But that was years ago. I did a Google search for the band and for Ernest Meier, but I haven't found anything. I wondered if anyone might have some information about this band and these Meiers. I do have a little information about the Meiers who were related to my great-grandmother and some of her related Meiers who settled in Texas. Thanks for any information. Cecelia in Texas
