Found another link so I can quit for tonight! See: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ia/Appanoose?read=773 I had this marriage listing in my database: Bial D. Kimes married Mary M. Cogner on 07 March 1867 in Appanoose Co, IA. Now from the query, we know WHO Mary was! Her maiden name was TURK and her first husband was a COGNER. Anyone connect? BTW, the only other Bial Kimes we've read about was the Bial, b. 1832 in Meigs Co, OH, who married Margaret Belle GILDART on 28 November 1852 in Meigs Co, OH. Wonder if this is the same Bial/Boyle.
