My interest is in the McCoy side , but was very surprised to see the Boa of Lachute connection . <br><br>I do have a chart of the Boa people in Lachute . It is somewhat limited but I have found it to be very interesting . It was made up by a Boa/Gordon person . I would like to at least be able to update this Boa/McCoy family with names . not expecting dates etc . can we share here ?<br>sincerely Joyce 2010-04-10 17:24:54Z joycejones308 http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.boa/1.2.3.4.2/mb.ashx http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.boa/10.15/mb.ashx I just googled our family name to see what came up and I saw your entry.

I have copies of two church records of the births of children of a William Todd and an Amelia Boa, one in 1867 &amp; 1868. These were from the Lachute Methodist church records I believe. I kept them because I have Todd's in Lachute who had a son named William but am not sure if this is mine. Maybe this is your Amelia?

I came across this article that states two (2) U.S. Business men went to Vietnam and found they were selling our GI DogTags on the street for 18-19-cents each for souvenir's. The men purchased all they had @ that time; 680. BOA is on that list and there is no first or middle name. I am enclosing an e-mail addy for The Boa Family to view: <a href="http://www.msnbc.com/news/597048.asp" target="_blank">http://www.msnbc.com/news/597048.asp</a> If this Boa fits in your family tree I would appreciate an e-mail in return so I will know my time an effort has been well spent.

I have a high grade trap gun that wasa shipped to him in 1919 I think, without getting the document out to be sure but the factory invoice from that time shows several trap guns sent to him in care of a Hardware Store at Joplin, Missouri. We might have to do some research through The A.T.A. hall of fame at Vandalia, Ohio. You couild call if you like and ask for their Historian, either Millie or Ruth and I am sure they have him in their records. # 937-898-1945 . I would like to hear what you found out if you don't mind. Thank You James T.

I would like more information if you don't mind. I write articles for . " THE DOUBLE GUN JOURNAL " which is an international publication for discriminating sportsman. I own an Ithaca gold inlayed trap gun that was shipped to John Boa and would like more information for an article. I know something about him as being pictured in the old Ithaca catalogs and I have a factory invoice about my gun and several other high grade trap guns being shipped to him in care of a hardware store at Joplin, Mo. I know he worked as a salesman for Ithaca guns and represented them at trap shooting events from 1916 to up into the 1930's I think. I would like to have copies of any newspaper articles about trap shooting or personel write-up's about him and a copy of his obituary if you have it. I would also like to have a good color photo of the trophy you mentioned for the article and I would give you credit as having supplied it with the other helpful information. If you wanted to check up on my credability before doing this you could call THE DOUBLE GUN JOURNAL and speak to the Owner Editor, Mr. Dan Cote at 231-536-7439. Thank You for your help, James T.

One child, William Boa born in Ballantrae in 1862 is known to have survived. Any information about who Andrew's parents were would be greatly appreciated.
