My sister Sandy and I live in Piedmont by the Black River. We went to a gathering at the Boal Cemetary on Sept. 24, 2006. We found out we could be related by marriage to Frank and Laura Boal. We have always known of our great uncle as Bert Shirley. He was also known as Bert Boal. He married our grandmother's sister Emma Pearl Dudley on Feb. 21, 1928. Do you know anything about Bert and Emma because we don't know very much about them? Laura and Bert are on the 1910 census in Mill Spring, Mo.
