There, are for example, about a dozen different George W.'s who served in what the north called the war of the rebellion and the south called the war between the states (what we today call the civil war), and I don't believe any of them are the George W. Boggs, son of Lilburn W. Boggs, that is in the California branch I'm researching. Channging the subject slightly, I came across a Birchard Boggs on one of my genealogical sorties on the net. Does anyone have any information on this person? Bob Birchard [email protected] http://www.mdle.com/ClassicFilms/Guest/birchard.htm
