Sounds like we do have the same book. It originated in Germany. If you look at The House of Texas & VT61 you will see my family. We were fortunate to attend one of the Family Reunions in Germany and met many of the Bose's. They gave me a photo of the Castle the Bose's lived in for 17 Generations and a photo of a painting of Carol Bose in the year 1634. Let me know if you have the same book and where in the book your family are. Joyce in Seguin, TX
