Hola/Howdy, Been researching at the Clayton Genealogical Library in Houston, Texas. On file is BOONE surname and many copies of interesting information. Took my son there to show him the book that has his father's name and those of his siblings and family. Some Boone descendants and kindred of St. Charles...etc......... I have been searching for a copy of my own for many years. Wanted my son to be familiar with the book so he could pass on info to his descendants. Came across a copy of "BOONE FAMILY RESEARCH ASSN. of Missouri" newsletter. Date: July 1973 There is an invitation for: Under the Boone Family Tree in the INGELS' Back Yard at 7130 Virginia Avenue, Kansas City, MO. It also states that library will be open to all. Is this ASSN. still in existence? Are the INGELS still involved in the BOONE research. The BOONE file is full of copies of this newsletter and handwritten copies of someone's genealogical research. Perhaps they donated their work/collection to the library. I have been lurking here for months as I have put away my BOONE/PEDIGO/WRIGHT research. I have been busy with my side of the family and was honored to be asked to give a speech at the genealogical conference this past July. Pretty good for a Newbie. I am planning a trip to MO next summer and am busy lining up my research sites. Later Kathleen Carrizal-Frye >From the Toe of Texas
