Welcome to the first ever known comprehensive genealogy of the descendants of Johann Heinrich Meyer. I began my research of the Meyer family in 2003. At that time their were few on-line databases available to conduct research. The immigrant database at Ellis Island and the family search database in Salt Lake City were the primary sources of information. These two have significantly expanded, as well as on-line databases in Germany itself. Another source of data that I must include is that of Diane Dittgen and Alice Meyer Sills. They have provided me with valuable data to validate my research. I am including a cover letter which Diane attached to her research she gave me. It gives some insight into the difficulties and rewards of doing genealogy research
