Thank you for clarifyin the Boozell line. It was helpful to learn that Florence and Aurora were children of Michael and Maria and to learn Maria's last name. Below is an outline of where I am at with this line. I am interested in all families of Lucas Co., IA as I enjoy watching for cross-overs into my lines, AND enjoy doing look-ups for folks now and then for Lucas Co. So, please review what I have and share with us who are the other siblings of F & A. I have some misc. Boozell's from the time period and wonder if they fit here. :) Thanks for your assistance, Mary Beth in Wisconsin Descendants of Michael Stambaugh Boozell 23 Michael Stambaugh Boozell .... +Marie (Moriah) Ellen Reader .. 24 10 children in all Boozell .. 24 Irvin Boozell ...... 25 Gideon Michael Boozell 1884 - 1945 ............ +Zora Belle Miller 1884 - .. 24 Florence Rosela Boozell 1859 - ........ +Aaron N.
