LETTER
FROM THE EDITOR
|
One year of publication
of our BOYT/E - BOYET/T/TE NEWSLETTER is complete with this
fourth issue. It has been time consuming,
but very rewarding for myself and other "cousins." |
|
Many subscribers have
submitted articles and these are greatly appreciated;
some have not yet been printed, but will be in the next Volume.
Only a tiny dent has been made in the voluminous
amount of materials that I have collected over the past twenty plus
years, but it's a start in the right direction. The more we
share, the more we can piece together how the
various branches of the family will interconnect. |
|
I will be
conducting a workshop for the Arkansas
Genealogical Society on October 12, 1985, so those
of you who attend, please contact me while
we're there. I'm looking forward to seeing many of you
again. |
|
It's time for subscription renewal, so don't
forget! Thanks for all your support in this endeavor. |
QUERIES
As many queries as submitted for the BOYT/E - BOYET/T/TE
NEWSLETTER will be published until the position is met where
there are too many for each issue. At the point that too
many are being received, a notice will appear in the
NEWSLETTER and further queries will be published under the initial policy of
four per subscription per year.

LETTERS
TO THE EDITOR
A recent letter from Chuck Pekor really
"made this editor's day." He wrote that from a
contact made through the second NEWSLETTER, he had been able
to extend one of his lines back
four generations! Congratulations, Chuck!
That's the purpose of publishing the NEWSLETTER--to
assist in piecing together our Lineages, and hopefully uniting the
various branches of the extended family.
