My maternal grandfather was John Simpson Boa who was born in southern Quebec or upstate New York. He was born around 1880 and died at the age of 26, or so I am told. He had at least one brother;Andrew who farmed in Lachute Quebec Canada. The only other information I have is that he last worked for Brunswick Balke(pool tables and equipment in Albany NY.Anyone having information about the Boa's that might be related may contact me by E-mail at walker@mendax.com
