Surnames: BOBOLA Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/xU.2ADE/419.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Hi Michele - I wouldn't give up, I know it can be frustrating trying to find people who seemed to have all but disappeared. His children are probably still too young to be deceased, so it seems reasonable to presume they are living. I went back to Knowx.com and using their "Ultimate People Finder" and entering the surname BOBOLA only and searching on all states Knowx.com has 190 BOBOLA listings. These listings can all be purchased for $9.95 and this may a be a reasonable way to attack the problem from the long term perspective. For one thing, the name BOBOLA is unique, there are just not a lot of them in America. It's therefore likely one of these BOBOLA's is a BOBOLA archivist or family genealogist who can probably help you out. My database on the PRITCHETT surname is so large and fairly complete that I'm regularly receiving emails from researchers who are looking for a certain PRITCHETT. I got one just today. Therefore, by the process of elimination, perhaps with a boilerplate letter writing campaign to all 190 BOBOLA's, perhaps someone will provide the answers you seek if you make it easy for them to contact you. Good luck in your search. Glen F. Pritchett, USGENWEB volunteer
