I don't understand why my father and one of my cousins keep insisting that BOGGS is german and that our ancestor came from Germany. I don't argue with them. They may have been told this to cover the Melungeon in our line, and the Cherokee, which probably came about with intermarriage into the Scot/Irish line of Boggs. They are from Lee and Wise Co's. I also thought of the possibility that someone may have seen a immigration sheet, and misinterpreted the listing GR B I as Germany rather than Great British Isles. It's just frustrating to deal with such stubborness, but some people I guess are set in their ways, and refuse to question and check into it themselves, we just have to accept that and go on. thanxx guys for listening to my rambling.
