Herb Wetenkamp III — 4 Jan 2000 5:45:40 GMT

I have info on my wife's family. She was born Viviane Boas. Her father wrote a little book on the Boas (and two other) familes in recent years and gave me copies to distribute. (He just died a few years ago in his late 90s). It discusses Boas's in Europe, South America and USA. Would anyone like a free copy? If so, please send me a self-addressed envelope (9 x 10 or larger) with $1.16 postage on it. The families are probably related far back.

Virginia Boas/Hales Cole

allnamessacred — 26 Apr 2006 12:05:46 GMT

I am looking for information on my ggggrandmother Virginia Boas/Hales Cole. She was raised by Elizabeth Boas (B. 6-4-1810, D. 12-16-1890) and Hugh Hales (B. 8-19-1805 D. 1860). In Elizabeth Boas's obituary in The Vevay Reveille 12-18-1890, Virginia is listed as "Virginia Cole, wife of John Cole, whom she raised from infancy." My grandmother can remember that Virginia was raised by Aunt Lizzie and Hugh Hales. So far, I have found evidence that Virginia was born in Kentucky and spent most of her life in Pleasant Twp. Switzerland County Indiana. I am interested in finding out the biological, if any, relationship between Elizabeth Boas and Virginia Boas/Hales Cole. I also want to find out who her biological parents were. Does anyone have any information on this person or suggestions on how I might find out more?

Virginia Boas/Hales Cole B. ~1850 KY D. 1896 IN

Caldonia

evelyn7b — 25 Feb 2003 6:45:51 GMT

My great grandmother was Caldonia Boaus, or it may have been Boas or Bogus. I know very little about her other than she was born about 1849 (probably AL) and married Elias Davis who was born in AL and they had children there before moving to Grimes Co., TX where both are listed in the 1920 census.

Has anyone come across these individuals? She is my brickwall and I have not been able to put a dent in it. She was a rather large woman; I do have a picture of her should anyone be interested.
