Debra, Do you know the Chambers of Commerce of Bovard, PA, since you have connections. I have some possible connections there, but don't know where its at? Anything would be good, or if you know of a genealogy society there.

Hi Cathy-- Yes, I have a listing of every chamber of commerce in the world at my office.? Bovard doesn't ring any bells, though, and I can't find it on a map.? Do you know what county it's in?? Not every town has it's own chamber--a lot of the smaller towns especially are just part of a county chamber. --Debra -----Original Message----- From: Cathy Raber <pigeonrock@earthlink.net> To: padutch-life@rootsweb.com Sent: Sun, 12 Aug 2007 12:28 am Subject: Re: [PD-LIFE] Lower Yoder Twp:Debra?
