Introduction

The Walter/Meyer Family History

Introduction

As I write the story of our Walter/Meyer line, in 2018, it has been 180 years since our ancestor Aloysius Walter set foot in New York city as a new immigrant. Since people from Europe and other parts of the world have been arriving in the New World for 350 plus years, it becomes apparent that our Walter/Meyer line has been in this country only a brief period of time when measured by those standards. For this reason, it makes it a bit easier to include as many of our Walter/Meyer ancestors in this blog which will be set up in book format.

A lot of research has entailed in order to provide as much detail of our ancestors' lives, as possible. The Walter/Meyer family was not a pioneer family when they settled in Ontario, Canada so it was difficult to find historical stories or information about them. Instead, they appear to have been quiet, hard-working people of German descent that went about their daily lives of farming and raising their families.

If you find that your ancestor is not listed here or their information is incorrect, please contact me. The same goes if you have additional information or photos you would like included on your ancestors' pages. Together, we can write the story of our Walter/Meyer ancestors for future generations.

My hope is that you will enjoy reading what is known about them and, in turn, learn more about their lives and their migratory path in Canada and the United States.
