My genealogical document “Mecklems of the World” is available as a free pdf (all 390 pages of it, with many photos!)…you can find it at http://toddmecklem.com/mecklem.pdf. New 600-plus-page update coming in September of 2026! If you have any trouble downloading the pdf, email me and I’ll email you a copy.
Even non-Mecklems will enjoy reading “The Autobiography of L. G. Mecklem” (which also makes up the last 58 pages of the “Mecklems of the World” document linked above)…you can access a free pdf of the memoir of Llewellyn Guy Mecklem, the young daredevil who was the first person to fly an airship above Seattle in 1908, at http://toddmecklem.com/lgmecklem.pdf. L. G. also parachuted from balloons, raced cars, and flew airplanes. The memoir is a fascinating read.
