I very much enjoyed the time spent researching into your familys past. I started in late
February and worked all the way to the start of April. I would like to thank you for allowing me
to do my research project on you and your family. With more time I would be able to find more
documents and proof into your familys history. Here is what I learned.
Here is the original question you gave me,Where was my grandfather. I started off with
gathering as much information as I could from you. Here is my notes from what information you
first gave me.
Harry J Myers Jr. Harrys father. / Birthday. Jan 3rd 1921 / Place of birth Philadelphia.
(Application for World War II compensation states that birth year was 1922 not 1921 the initial
year you gave me)
Mary Ann Martin. Harrys mother Year = 1941 or 1942 Date = August 26th
( The initial grandmother you gave me was not married to Harry J Myers but instead a different
part of your family line. After viewing many censuses we found Edith Martin )
Consistency is what most helps solve the question. Was your grandfather born in Philadelphia? I
am most certain he was. It is a common thing for people born in Philadelphia to remain in
Philadelphia. I have not found anything that suggest he was not. With more time more specific
documents can be revealed. I would like to thank you for allowing me to shed light on your
familys history. I hope what Ive found and given you has helped.
Sincerely, Brian
