Curious, isn’t it? You’ve looked around, saw some cool stuff. Thinking maybe you’re connected somehow, but not sure? I know the feeling. I’ve been finding the Juers name all over the internet, as far away as Australia, and have been asking myself, are they a branch of our Juers family from Germany, who went there […]

Greetings, Juers family & friends! This is my first attempt to add some actual content to the site, so I’ll keep it simple by posting a bunch of links. What you’ll see here are historical documents (some of them official) or other interesting items found thru various family & genealogy sites. When you click on the various […]
Miracle of the Medals Part 2
November 11, 2012 by Leave a Comment
It all began 16 years ago, in the summer of ’94. Military medals, belonging to my godfather & uncle, Roy Juers of Oyster Bay, had been missing from the family for the better part of 15 years. Then out of nowhere, they miraculously reappeared, through an altruistic gesture by James Knight, an Oyster Bay sanitation […]

So both sides of my family are from Nassau County, Long Island. And I’m named after my uncle Roy J. Juers, second-youngest of my father’s 5 brothers. That’s why I’m Roy J. Juers II, not Roy Jr. Uncle Roy was my godfather (my mom’s sister, my Aunt Barbara is my godmother… she factors in later). […]

Summer, 2009. I went to see dad in Chico, because his cancer was giving him grief & he was starting chemo, and not particularly happy about it. I want to say I kinda knew things were bad, but I was still in denial, definitely. Anyway, one night we went to the Holiday Inn where […]
Me & Dad at the Ballgame…

October 9, 2003 Dad & I have always had a great passion for the New York Yankees. I remember, at that time, feeling like time was gaining on us as a family, for whatever reason. Dad was 66 & not in the best of health, even though, all things considered, he was doing pretty well… […]

Well welcome, everybody… I want to apologize for the site being down for awhile. Apple has this cool tool for building web pages, called iWeb. It’s a pretty easy-to-use interface, and though it didn’t have a ton of bells & whistles, I didn’t need to know any code to get a website functional for people […]
