Newsletter for the interchange of genealogical data and history of the Meyer families who came to America mainly from Germany, Holland and Switzerland in the early 1700's through the 1800's. Some focus is on (but not limited to) the descendants Rudolph Meyer (d. 1767) who immigrated ca. 1719, and settled either Philadelphia or Lancaster, Pennsylvania. His son Rudolph "Rudy" (1724-1783) married Anna Light (1728-1792), the daughter of John Light and Mary Greiter. Rudy and Anna had twelve children, and established a homestead in Annville, Lebanon County, Pennsylvania. Rudy was buried in the Kauffman Cemetery, in Annville. Many of their descendants remained in the Lancaster, Lebanon, Palmyra and Annville areas of Pennsylvania. During the 1800's, others of this family and of other Meyer (etc.) progenitors also migrated to Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, and Ohio. Many descendants of the Rudolph Meyer family were Mennonites, and others later the Evangelical United Brethren, Methodist, and Lutheran churches. Some later families also lived in Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Nebraska, New York, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and in Bermuda, Germany, Japan, Ontario (Canada), Puerto Rico, Viet Nam, and elsewhere. .
