"To know who you are you have to know where you came from" ~Richard Hill My adopted father, Henry Meyer, and biological grandfather, Herbert Meyer, engaged me in family history when I was very young. They regularly talked about our family through stories, reminiscing when looking through photographs and attending family reunions. My passion for genealogy was born from those experiences. Being adopted at birth within my maternal family was a blessing!! My grandfather's love for his family, my biological mother's faith, bravery and strength and my adopted father's respect and commitment for his family are the foundation of who I am. This website is dedicated to capturing the known and untold stories of my heritage based on research, interviews and DNA evidence.
