MESSAGE
This forty-page
issue has taken literally hundreds of hour to compile, check,
recheck, proof, and correct. It has been both a pleasure
and a pain. Although publication of this issue was delayed
in order to finish this material, I believe it was worth while.
Most BOYT/E and BOYET/T/E families are represented as most
families had at least one member who found his way into some part
of Mississippi.
