Am trying to find out information on the Henry CONNORS family.
Henry CONNORS (b 1850 Vermont - d. 28 May 1917 San Antonio, Bexar, TX) married Dora (b. Sep 1866 Texas - d. after 1937 in San Antonio, Bexar, TX).
They had the following children in Texas: Bertie (b. Sep 1889) who married Walter NEIDERT; Olive (b. 21 Oct 1893 - 12 Dec 1937) married 1) Emil Adolph MEYER and 2) Cecil HARVEY; Inez (b. Dec 1894) married William BEVERSDORF; and Florence who married William WILLIAMS.
My husband is relation to Emil Adolph MEYER (1892 - 1918) who's parents were Fritz MEYER and Marie SCHMALKOKE. I have pictures of Olive "Ollie" and Emil. Both Olive and Emil are buried at the Herman Sons Lodge Cemetery in San Antonio, Bexar, TX.
