Dear Bob: Have you been in touch with Robert K. BLATTER, Colorado Springs, CO? He has done research on the BLATTERs & BOOS. Have you checked out my books? There are a lot of BLATTERs & BOOS in them. In fact, if you research Pope County, these are valuable research tools. Information in them is not normally found elsewhere. This little newspaper in Golconda (Herald- Enterprise), contained much genealogical information. I have taken all births, marriages, deaths and much other misc information from it and compiled it into books. They are every name indexed. Bonnie BARTON SKAGGS, Compiler of Pope County Illinois Herald-Enterprise Abstracts, Volumes I, II & III. Thank you.
