Re: BOMAR of CAMPBELL CO., GA
IS THIS A NEW LIST? I'm shocked to not have more
complete data here on my office PC --- my primary
research notes are on my Mac at home! Although I
used to know much of the line by memory (oh, the
good ol' days), I'm just standing here
intellectually naked as that proverbial jaybird. Oh,
well. While I shall add to this latter if necessary,
here, nevertheless, is my submission:

===============================

SEEKING CONTACT WITH ALL BOMAR COUSINS, especially
those of my branch! My heartfelt congratulations to
the poor soul who undertook ownership of the list.
(A task I had manytimes considered over the past two
years but knew there would never be sufficient time
to manage it properly.) How wonderful --- let's all
make this vehicle worthwhile! I have considerable
information (although putting my hands on it all at
the moment will be impossible). In fact, twelve
years ago there were fifty-seven (57) of us
earnestly working BOMAR branches. Many of you will
hopefully remember fondly our attempts to
more-accurately assemble genealogical proofs
evidencing our descent from the immigrant. Looking
forward to GREAT THINGS on our list --- Regards,
/Tom in TX
