Davis-Bortmann & Myers-Shapiro Families

Updated August 3, 2010

About Our Family Research


Welcome to the family! This site is about the four main lines in my family pedigree, and I'm happy to include as many 'collaterals' as possible.

Input, comments, ideas and questions are all invited, and I hope you'll find a relative of your own listed here because that means we're family, too!

Here are the four main lines:

1. Family of Willard Allen Davis (1902-1974), son of Alfred Davis and Mary Louise Corbeille. Locations: Mundy, Greenwood, Port Huron & Muskogee, Michigan; Quebec, Canada; and Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

2. Family of Valeria Bortmann (1903-1961), daughter of August & Anna Bortmann. Locations: Antwerp, Belgium; Germany; Poland, Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

3. Family of John Durand Myers (1902-1991). Son of Samuel Myers and Sarah Myers (Myers was her maiden name, too). Locations: Los Angeles, Whittier, Duarte, Riverside and Covina, California; Boston & Roxbury, Massachusetts; Spitalfields and White Chapel portions of London and Liverpool, England.

4. Family of Joseph Shapiro and Sarah Celia (Sora Zissel) Shapiro. Locations: Los Angeles, California; Boston & Roxbury, Massachusetts; Lodz and Sejny areas of Poland/Russia.

Collateral families I presently know about and have information about:

BUCKWHEAT (Quebec/Sawyer Co. Wisconsin) -- branch of Sarrazin's
CHEPPA (Lodz/Sejny/Belgium?) -- branch of Shapiro's/changed name
DEMARSE (Muskegon, MI) -- 'Edward' married Florence Davis
