I wonder if anybody from that line could say the pronunciation of the family name. Was it the common Washington Co., Mo. version "Boo-yer," or I have heard that in Jefferson Co., Mo. it is called "Boy-yer," and I have heard that the original French was either "Boy-yea" or "Boo-yea." Just curious. ----- Original Message ----- From: Melanie Rickmar To: mostfran@rootsweb.com Sent: Saturday, October 11, 2008 8:22 PM Subject: [MOSTFRAN] Death of Theodule Boyer (1915) FARMINGTON TIMES, Farmington, St. Francois County, Missouri, Friday, December 10, 1915 Theodule Boyer, aged 78 years 6 months and 12 days, died at the home of his son, Solomon Boyer in Bloomsdale on Tuesday, November 23, 1915, after a lingering illness.

Hi, Theodule Boyer was my Great Great Granfather. My family always pronounced it Boo yer, your simple Missouri version.
