James L. Meng is a retired labor relations arbitrator who was born in the mid-American steel town of Granite City, Illinois. His parents were born in Freeburg and Newton, Illinois and were active civic leaders in their community. In his formative years, James met several occasions that comprised a very interesting youth. After graduating from college, he joined the Missouri Air National Guard where he was awarded the Airman’s Medal for Valor. Afterwards he continued his education for a Master degree. He married his lovely wife, Beverly, and had two children and four grandchildren. While cleaning out his basement, he discovered several inherited boxes containing family pictures and documents. Although not a genealogist, which he says with a great deal of pride, he fortunately decided to share his information with others, both the born and unborn. This book is written to reflect the lives and personalities of real people – not just the genealogical statistics of born on date, married on date, had child one, two, three and died on this date. These were real people who realized and conquered a variety of life challenges in Germany and in their newly adopted home in America. As a nation of immigrants, we should not let their contributions be forgotten...

"Trexler Family History begins with the story of Peter Trexler (Dreshler) and family who left Germany for America in 1709 during the Palatine Immigration, eventually settling near Allentown, Pennsylvania. The first seven chapters describe the circumstances that led to their immigration, their difficult travels to London, voyage to New York, and labors along the Hudson River, before finally moving to Pennsylvania. Chapters eight to fourteen (142 pages) focus on the history of the branch of Trexlers who eventually settled in Jordan, New York, where Charles L. Trexler supervised a Cement company. There are eleven appendices of general interest, including additional history of the German immigration, Trexler Cemetery (located in Trexlertown, PA), the story of Trexler Mills and Furnaces, the famous entrepreneur and philanthropist General Harry Clay Trexler, and Places of Interest in Pennsylvania and New York State relevant to Trexler history. Approximately half of the book (150 pages) provides information for anyone interested in the Trexlers who initially settled in Pennsylvania. The book includes numerous maps and photos and a list of libraries around the country that carry a more expansive (but, out of print) book on Trexler genealogy. Trexler Family History is a fascinating narrative history and useful resource for Trexler descendants researching their family roots." --
