A Never Ending Story of our Ancestors! By Kathie BillmireUpdated August 28, 2003 |
I have been working on most of these lines since 1994. Then we had our first child and was fortunate to quit my day job and stay home raising our children! I am up to working on eight (8) trees at one time (but not all on the same day!) Looking for ancestors of the following: Billmire, Earsom, Eichhorn, Engle, Ettema, Hillebrecht, Layfield, Michael, Morgan, Pampell, Prime, Sommers / Summers. These ancestors came from: England; Germany; Ireland; Appingedam, Groningen Providence of Netherlands; Freeport, Stephenson Co. of Illinois; Baltimore, Frederick, Garrett, Somerset, Talbot Counties of Maryland; Clarke and Frederick Counties of Virginia; Hampshire County of West Virginia; Muskegon & Lapeer Counties, the Detroit area in Michigan; Austin, Potter Co. & Winterburn, Clearfield Co. of Pennsylvania. Other simular names of Billmire: (and I thought this would be the easy one- oh bother!) Bellmire, Belmire, Bellmyer, Bellmyre, Belymer, Biehlmaier, Bielmeier, Bielmeir, Bihlmaier, Bihlmayer, Bihlmeier, Bihlmeir, Bihlmeyer, Bilhimer, Billheimer, Billmaier, Billmair, Billmayer, Billmeir, Billmeier, Billmeyer, Billmier, Billmyer, Billmyre, Bilmaier, Bilmayer, Bilmeyer, Bilmier, Bilmire, Bilmyer, Bilmyre and Bylmyher. Other simular names of Earsom: Earsome, Earson, Airsom, Ahreson, and Iresom. Other simular names of Eichhorn: Eickhorn? LAYFIELD - other simular surnames: Lafeld, Lafield, Laifeld, and Lawfeeld Other simular names of Sommers: Somer, Somers, Sommer, Sumer, Sumers, Summer, Summers, and Sumner. An Ettema Family Reunion was held on July 24, 1999 in Lansing, Michigan. It was a hot one, but had a great time! PS I would like to thank some very important people who without the information that has been giving to me - this would not be possible. To my loving parents, Doris and Henry: After all the nagging I did when I was youngster. Who is that? Where is that? Can we go there? - finally paid off! XXOO PSS. I am not done nagging. To my sisters, Pat, Carol & Sandy: Thanks for the information before I was around, however, I am not done bugging you yet either. To my Aunts: Aunt Min, Aunt Clara, Aunt Ruth, Aunt Barb for all the stories and letters. Especially to my late Aunt Elaine for the information that gave me the link in finding my Grandmother's birth place. To Eleanor and Margy: for all the Billmire's stories (very funny ones I might add), mailings, pictures and e-mails. Just don't go away - I'm not done yet. To my relatives in the Netherlands: for meeting us at the airport in 1998, for showing us around Amsterdam, lodging and feeding us. Pictures and information will truly treasure. Will be back in 2001! To my rescent long lost relative - on the Earsom side! Thank goodness for the Internet - we have added another piece to the puzzle! I'll be out your way this summer! To many of my cousins: for mailing me your families information. ***** And last, to my wonderful husband, Garrett who has been very generous in getting me a computer and keeping it updated, the software, the printers, getting me on the Internet, letting me travel (with the kids), along with much free time on the weekends (and some week days - thanks kids) to do this research that I truly love to do. And I can leave it when I want to. And go outside and play in the dirt with the kids or get a babysitter and play golf! 3/12/00 |
