I have found Alva Boop aka Alvaretta Jane & Alba b. 3 Oct 1868, Allen County; father was Martin Boop b. abt 1834, Allen County, he died 27 Sep 1866 Allen County; mother was Nancy S. Edgecomb b. abt 1849 in Ohio. Alva married Clem Ferguson 22 May 1886 in Allen County. I have not been able to find oa death notice for Alva or when or where she died. I found most of the above information at the Allen County Court House. Do you know what Boop line you decend from? You may be a cousin to my children. Alva was their great grandmother.
