AbstractDescribes a fifteen-year search for an ancestor in Bavaria with the all-too-common name of Johann Meyer. After some false leads, many letters to Germany, and some kindness from strangers, the author was able to meet relatives in Unternschreez, Bavaria. Includes suggestions for preparing a take-along history when visiting newly-found German relatives.
