Hello all :) I'm looking for more info on the Lydas in Oregon if at all possible. My GGrandfather was Benjamin "Benny" Lyda ( m. Nannie Hattie Rollings ), His father William "Billy" Lyda from Nebraska (m. Marietta Harper). I have the names but I'm wondering if anyone has any stories of how/why they came here to Oregon, any photos, or anything that could help me learn a little more about them as people I would greatly appreciate it.
Also, for anyone who is interested (distant relative?)I am from the branch of John Andrew Leydig? (b. 1715) who as far as I can tell immigrated from Germany and died in Pennsylvania (1762). His wife was Elizabeth(a)? No info on her maiden name. Thanks in advance!~Amanda
