The Meyer book is now available. This book covers what is known about our Meyer ancestry. Little is known about their lives back in Germany, but our Meyers left many traces of their existence in America. This traces the lineage of Barbara Mary Meyer. She was born on 9 July 1881 at Mendota, La Salle, Illinois to parents who had emigrated from Germany. She grew up in Iowa where she met and married Harry Allen Lawrence Fawcett. In their later years they moved to Minnesota. She died at Austin, Mower, Minnesota on 24 March 1972 at the age of 90.

Per request of the oldest of my favorite brothers, I have made the book available in either paperback  or hardcover format.
