<huntsvilleADM> 

Hi, Gebo--welcome!

<Gebo> 

I have searched and found very little on Allen Marion Oakley and Belle Dozhier(Dozier).

<Gebo> 

Hi

<Granny> 

Gebo, have you posted on the message board on this site, and the county sites for AL, and also checked GenForum for a message board on any of your surnames?

<huntsvilleADM> 

Gebo, do any of you BOBO's live around Madison Co? I know someone whose heavily into the BOBO genealogy?

<CyberLemon> 

besides my Bama counties, my Kings and Elliott's also resided in Okaloosa, Escambia and Santa Rosa Counties

<Travis> 

My great Aunt, Mary Robertson married Ocee Oakley, and they lived in Cincinatti. I think he was from Tennessee.

<huntsvilleADM> 

I think there's some BOBO's around Lynchburg, TN........Miss Bobo's Boarding House is there.

<huntsvilleADM> 

Jack Daniels' county....

<Gebo> 

I don't know any of my Bobo line who lived in Madison County.

<huntsvilleADM> 

What info do you have on your BOBO's?

<Gebo> 

I have posted on all the boards I have come across- Rootsweb, and many county boards

<Gebo> 

I have the direct Bobo line back to Gabriel Baubau who was the first to immigrate to the US.

<Granny> 

Gebo, check out the GenForum boards and try for each of your surnames. I sometimes get my best replies from there, and it seems that they have a message board for almost any surname!

<MizB> 

There are quite a few Dozier's in Casey's Book Shelton, Wininger and Pace Families

<Gebo> 

Through the Highsmith line (Who married into the Bobo line), I have back to 1600's>

<Granny> 

There must be a zillion Paces! Everywhere I research I come across a whole bunch of them.

<Gebo> 

Where might I find this Casey's book?

Hi Guest

<MizB> 

I ordered mine from Robert Casey. But I think it is in some of the Libraries

<huntsvilleADM> 

Guest, would you please log off and come back in with a nickname? Otherwise, we feel like you're sitting there with a sack over your head! <grin> And, if anyone sees the transcripts, they can't identify you for the next time.

<Granny> 

Cyber, any of your Gatewood line in Florida?

<huntsvilleADM> 

Is this your first time, Guest?

<CyberLemon>
