Now living in Lakeland, Polk, Florida, I was born in Louisville, Jefferson, Kentucky in 1956 to parents Robert Dennis Myers Sr and Betty Jo (Moseley) Myers at Louisville General Hospital. I was the middle of 5 children. One brother and three sisters. I have studying my family genealogy now for about the past 10 years and have had my DNA processed through the AncestryDNA project at Ancestry.com as of September 2012. My username on Ancestry is the same as here; TonyMyers56 if anyone is interested in checking it out.
