Hi Cousins. Here is how this all came about. I started my family tree research in 1980 asking my grandmother Marion Boudway Rhoades lots of questions. Then I went to the Maine State Archives to check vital records (VR) and census records. After I had found all I could from my grandmother and VR and censuses, and finding her grandfather John Boudway's death certificate (d/c) listing his parents as Francis Boardway & Mary Ann Crozier, I went to the American Canadian Genealogy Society in Manchester NH and told them I was looking for a Quebec name 'Boardway'. The research librarian said "No you're not. You're looking for a name that got Americanized into Boardway." With just a little research through Quebec marriage registers, we soon found the marriage of Francois Xavier Beaudoin and Marie Anne Crozier [certificate below], and the marriage registers took us back one generation at a time to 1600. As time has permitted over the past 30 years I have talked with and corresponded with all the Boudways (et al) that I could find. I have lots of wonderful correspondence from the 1980s that would have been lost to history by now. I have been trying to fill in all the holes to compile a complete list of all descendants of the Boardways. I constantly find more as more records become available online. I have used Maine microfilm and record websites, Ancestry census records, Massachusetts records, SSDI (social security death index), and many others including GenealogyBank.com with copies of old newspapers, which added a whole new family in March 2011 - more later. February 2011: One of my correspondents from the 1990s was Sharon Hitt in Texas. She had finally solved her family tree roadblock and told me and also contacted French-Canadian expert Bob Chenard in Waterville ME who had much more Quebec records to add dates and full names to the family tree, still being incorporated here. His "home" is the Taconnett Falls Genealogy Library in Winslow Maine. This 3-way correspondence also solved my Pooler line [John Boudway b 1847 md Mary Pooler], with Sharon being related to the Pooler line instead of the Boardway line; her ancestor just liked his Boardway cousins better so he changed his name to Leon Wellington Boardway! Email me for more on the Pooler branch. March 2011:
NORTHAMPTON, MASSACHUSETTS April 2011: Continuing to make great progress. Uploaded a new version of the Genealogy with many additions. I have finished copying articles out of the Northampton papers and incorporated them into my 4/17 update above. This will never be "done". Still waiting for some cousins to respond with their family updates. Trying to find time for work, also. I'm not really retired. And I'm supposed to be concentrating on Leavitts in preparation for our Leavitt Reunion in June. December
2012: I got a nice phonecall from a Boudway cousin in Georgia who
found my website and he will be sending me an update on his branch. Still
waiting for updates from some other cousins. DO YOU HAVE FAMILY UPDATES OR PHOTOS OF PEOPLE OR GRAVESTONES? PLEASE EMAIL ME. COPYRIGHT
