http://www.rootsweb.com/~txfcgs/ is the society webpage there is a link on the Fannin County webpages' http://www.rootsweb.com/~txfannin/ its right where announcements are placed. Wait until after next tuesday. the amount probably will be 15 dollars but I am hoping lower. We paid out of our pockets the overrun money last year. It was our first year of publication. We print a copy for each member and then have about a dozen libraries that receive one. That is important for a society to do as it gets the info out there where a researcher will run into it, perhaps years later but its the way libraries get help and a common practice. So we need to go over costs . We want to keep it low as we can. That is why we don't have a rate for a couple for instance. If they only need one publication that is fine with us. We didnt' have any paid membership fee when we didn't have a publication because we had no costs. This next tuesday is a meeting that will have the elections and the discussions of what we want to do this next year as well as some training involving using the new Family History center (the equipment is there and it is beginning to be used but not yet 'offically' opened until one more shipment comes. The publication is a large enough one to make it worth it. i can't put my finger on mine (its time to clean this room up :( but I think it runs 30 pages. I am working some of the articles , for instance I am transcribing some very old newspaper articles and obits for it. Articles of interest in it and also pages of the 1910-11 county directory.

I am researching Henry Secrest BOYLE (born Indiana 1Nov1830/1; died 12Jan1904, buried Fannin County's Delba Cemetery) who married Mary Melvina KELLY on 1Jul1855 in Leonard, Fannin County. Known children of Henry S. BOYLE and Mary M. KELLY were: 1. Leroy BOYLE (c.1857-?) 2. Doctor Dick BOYLE (c.1859-?) ["Doctor" is his first name, not an honorific] m. Rachel GLOVER children: a. Walter BOYLE b. Gertrude BOYLE 3. Alfred BOYLE (1Oct1860-19Apr1934) [one of my greatgrandfathers] m. (Red Oak,IA 25Apr1886) Effie May KING (1Jun1868-21Jan1943) dau. of Felix Scot KING & Elvira Jane JOHNS children: a. Henry Franklin �Frank� BOYLE (Red Oak,IA 18Jun1887-c.9Nov1907 Tajique,NM) never married b. George E. BOYLE (Pike,Collin co,TX 24Dec1888-Aug1958 Yakima,WA) 2 children m. 1st Hedwig �Betty� STEINLE (Switzerland ?-17Mar1930 Casper,WY) m. 2nd ___ c. Florence Elvira �Ella� BOYLE(Pike,Collin co,TX 7Aug1891-c.1934 Mills,WY) m. William K. �Billy� McCANE, Mills town marshall d. Laura May BOYLE (Pike[near McKinney],TX 16Nov1894-27May1967 Albu.) m. (Albuquerque,NM 2Jul1914) Otto Bowers VAN CLEAVE. 5 children son of Joseph Albert Wright VAN CLEAVE & Susan Catherine BOWERS e. Alfred Russell BOYLE (Coalgate,Indian Terr,OK 31Dec1896-13Jul1913) never married f. Clara Mable BOYLE (Coalgate,Indian Terr,OK 22Nov1898-?) m. 1st ___ m. 2nd Clifford MARTIN m. 3rd Harry E. NILSEN 4. Mary Florence BOYLE (1865-?) m. Thomas GRIFFITH children: a. Gertrude GRIFFITH b. Florence GRIFFITH c. Harry GRIFFITH d. Cecil GRIFFITH I am trying to determine if two of Henry�s sons are mentioned in the February 2, 1878, edition of �McKinney Weekly Enquirer�, published in neighboring Collin County: "State of Texas v. Lee Boyle and Alfred Boyle, theft of mares; both plea guilty, and punishment assessed at five years in penitentiary." Lending credence that Lee might be Leroy is the "McKinney Letter List" for December 29, 1877, in an earlier edition of the same paper, which reports an undelivered letter for "Boyle, Leroy". [source: www.geocities.com/collincotx/McKinneyEnquirer2.html augmented by Reference Services at University of Texas] I also would like to identify the ancestors of Henry Secrest Boyle and Mary Melvina Kelly.
