I am not certain if there is a connection between my Missouri Bollingers and your Kansas Bollingers, Michelle, but the extent of the family is so enormous, there is some reason to think that the westward migration from Pennsylvania, to North Carolina, to Missouri, could certainly have included Kansas and beyond. The book I mentioned is so extensive, that I have not read it word-by-word, so cannot say with certainty whether it refers to Bollingers who went from Kansas to further west or not. I will reiterate that there family was profoundly expanive as it developed over the generations, so one has to wonder?!?! If I may be of specific help, please get in touch with me specifically.
