In regards to my statement, "I was there in June 2007, and they traced my NASH burials way back." Boyer made copies of burial records on some of my NASH Families who are buried in the NASH Family on Primrose Road north of Bonne Terre. The earliest burial that I got from them was 1889. I have my MASH / NASH family and its many extended families on my Family Tree, "The Webs We Weave" posted on Tribal Pages. The address is: http://www.tribalpages.com/tribes/jdwafford The website is not open to the public at this moment, however, you may read my Home Page, and you may take a look at the Family Surnames that I have listed, close to 40,000. I have my MASH / NASH family line traced back to late 1635, when they came over from England, landing in Hingham Bay, MA. I have been doing my family research since December of 1999, night and day. I enjoy it tremendously and try to prove everything as closely as possible. I belong to Ancestry.com, I use Census Records, Land Records, Birth, Marriage and Death Records, Tax Records, and of course Family information and Records kept by family members. I have had many people help me, and I try to help as many people in return as I can. I do not put people down for their research. By the way, I even have some LYON Family members listed, who married into my KETCHERSIDE Family Line. Perhaps part of them is your own family.

Boyer just recently purchased the Caldwell Funeral Home in Park Hills, just last week I think. Hopefully Caldwell kept equally good records as Boyer has done and those will be available for people to research as well.
