The Darmstadt, Germany phone book had no Melius names. The closest was "Melis" (pronounced "Mell - is").
We suspect the spelling of our Melius name was changed. Does anyone know the original spelling in the 1800's, when the Melius' emigrated to the United States?
In 2003 Kevin retired from over 30 years of service at NICOR in Illinois. Sharon retired from nursing. We said goodbye to the home in which we raised our 4 sons and moved to the Faulkton, SD, the home town where both Kevin & I were raised. The people in Faulkton remembered us and our parents. They have welcomed us with outstretched arms and smiles. We are living proof that you can go "home" again.
