Dear Gary, I am researching an entirely different Boggs line, but our people both end up in Los Angeles in the early part of the century so I am writing to ask if in your searches you have come across anything on any of the following: Francis W. Boggs, b. 1870 probably in Newman, Stanislaus County, California; d. October 27, 1911 in Los Angeles Lillian H. Boggs, wife of Francis W. Boggs Edwin Boggs, b. ca. 1897 in California, son of Francis W. and Lillian H. I am trying to locate descendants of Francis W. Boggs or descendants of his siblings: Jessie Boggs, b. ca. 1866 in California Howard B. Boggs, b. ca 1873 in California Florence Boggs, b. ca. 1875 in California (apparently never married) and Alexander Boggs, b. ca. 1878 in California. If by any chance you have come across anything in your research that might touch on mine I'd appreciate any help you might offer. -- Bob Birchard [email protected] http://www.mdle.com/ClassicFilms/Guest/birchard.htm cliftongeo wrote: > Hello Everyone.
