John Boa-Professional Trapshooter

JTTyson — 3 Jul 2001 10:50:50 GMT

I am doing research for an article on Trapshooting and John Boa is pictured in many of the 1917 - 1924 Ithaca Gun Catalogs as winning events in Canada and The U.S. using Ithaca Shotguns. I need to hear from a family member or anyone who has information about this man. Thank You, JTSR

I am searching for any information about William or Mary Boa, of Edinburgh Scotland. Dates of birth are unknow, but would be mid 1800's. One of their children was Janet Kathleen Boa, born 1891. I believe he was a barrister.

Andrew Boa

Andrew Boa was born about 1830 in Ettrick. I can not find any proof of this other than the 1881 Census in which he claims this. He married Janet McQuater in Blair Atholl in 1852 and sired 9 children, most of whom died in infancy. One child, William Boa born in Ballantrae in 1862 is known to have survived. Any information about who Andrew's parents were would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

BOA - DogTags - Found

Hello, I do alot of research in genealogy and also for our Veteran's. I came across this article that states two (2) U.S. Business men went to Vietnam and found they were selling our GI DogTags on the street for 18-19-cents each for souvenir's. The men purchased all they had @ that time; 680. BOA is on that list and there is no first or middle name. I am enclosing an e-mail addy for The Boa Family to view: http://www.msnbc.com/news/597048.asp If this Boa fits in your family tree I would appreciate an e-mail in return so I will know my time an effort has been well spent. Respectfully, ~~Patti~~
