My uncle has a direct line to the Bosville family with a Jasper Boswell in 1577, he in turn goes back to 1070 to John De Bossvile, apparently his father was William the Conqueror's Standard Bearer. Is there anyone out there who is also related to this family so that I might be able to help my uncle who is now 85 and would be interested in any answers. Also looking for anyone who may be connected to the HUME family. Thank you.
