It looks like I have never replied to you about this:
It really is not my line, I have been helping a daughter-in-law and now
her attention has turned to other things, Christmas and family so I am
not able to get with her or her attention. Meyer is so vast in the
German line, worse than Smith I think. Any how thanks for the reply and
thought---Bob
Dear Bob,
In my family tree I also search for a Meyer born circa 1846/1847.
1880 Mo census gives his name as Henry.
His daughters death certificate lists his name as August.
His son August was born circa 1874/75 in MO. I found an obituary
which matched his known sisters married names.I don't know if his real name was Henry or August. Supposedly he was
born in Missouri, and his parents Prussia.Warmest Regards,
Barbie-Lew
