Miles Meyer, MSc
Achievements and Experience
Miles has been researching his family history and teaching others how to research their families for over 25 years. His interest in family history started when he did a 3rd grade project researching his 4 generations on a mimeographed pedigree chart. Many years later, he discovered that assignment in a box of papers that his parents packaged up when he moved away from home to attend college. Miles decided to see if he could find additional information and fill it out a bit more. His personal research focuses on a small area of Ohio and a small area in Germany. Miles has up to 14 generations documented on several family lines.
