If you have great grandmother that seems to disappear from the family in 1880’s central Texas, she may have been a member of the Women’s Commonwealth of Texas, also known as, The Sanctificationist of Belton, Texas. 

This was one of the earliest women’s rights groups, and used the Femme Sole law to advance their cause. Mr. Meyers will relate the story of a member’s daughter who led researchers on quite a chase before all her descendants could be tracked down.

A professional genealogist for 18 years, and an avid researcher for 28 years, Mr. Meyers brings knowledge of social sciences, history, genealogy and some private investigator techniques to his work.
