My Greene County Indiana Ancestry

The Burns' Scotland Ancestry

Descendants of John George Obermayer

I dropped this back to the eight generation - using a person born in 1914; I think before I had a cut off birth date of between 1920 and 1930; which put alot of current data into the 1940's and later; but if any of you want it down to that period which is the 9th generation okay - I wil re-do it - It is simple to do.

I have added quite a bit to it since this has been done through obits, I have added only one GedCom file directly into this as I felt I trusted Roberta Kay (CARR) Wunder's data and work to this and have been working to merge all double enteries - I think I have it pretty well merged but not sure - as names used for the given name do not always match and some enteries do not give parents names or spouses names - which I merge on only - and since obits have been added in also so can merge into eventually - a descendancy print out is needed to weed out double enteries -

I have two other files yet for comparing it too and add to the sourcing - but since it is not my personal lines - and this is free work - and I prefer to enter these files by hand for comparison - some do not have GedCom's available.

Now I am trying to work documentation into it since those books were not documented properly - The numbers in blue after a name - indicate the sourcing which I have not included and those links will not work. I do have the documentation for it - and I am slowly adding documentation for the Overmyers of Culver area as well as Fulton county area.

If you find any errors please feel free to send corrections - I am trying to get full dates and locations entered if at all possible. Many of the obituaries I have just entered into the PAF Data Base without doing much to the data weithin - as I go through the comparison process I will try to catch these too.

The data within was database started from the 2 known Overmyer genealogies

Overmyer History and Genealogy 1680 to 1905 Barnhaet B. and John C. Overmyer 1905, Fremont, Ohio, Cahs. S. Bellman Printer, reprint 1972 Light & Life Press
Daniel Overmyer History and Genealogy 1832 to 1978 Mabel Brucker, Monterey, Indiana

The 1905 book I have and bought at an auction in Culver in the mid 1990's to save it from being thrown into a dumster after the auction was over - as most books are and the other Scot Pelka of the Culver Union Township Public library graciously let me borrow to input into this PAF file .

There is a rapidly growing Grass Roots effort to organize a National Reunion of the Descendants of John George Overmyer. Rochester, Fulton County has been selected as the location with a target date of July 2009. A specific date has not been determined as of this time. I would like to ask each coordinator to place a notice on their county site. We are looking to contact as many descendants as possible. There is also a website Overmyer FAMILY if anyone is interested in helping with the event or just wants to follow what’s going on.
