Re: Edith Boley: Michigan, Colorado, California

I know what you mean about the Boley's re-using names.I do not know how we are connected, however, I know we are even if it is with a very weak link.I had an Aunt Edith that past away a few years ago.I do feel that when things did not favor the family name that they changed names to hide the fact that Boley's were human just as everyone else.The names I am familar with are as follows:George, William, James, Edward, Elias, Anderson, Ellen, Edith, Lewis, Annie, Ella, Rita, Tom, Bob, etc. I am from Colorado as are a lot of the people I am speaking of.My branch also has family in California...my direct ancestors lived in CA for a time.
