I thought I'd introduce myself since I recently decided to establish
this list. My name is Edward A. Black, Sr. and I established this list

for those who desire to contact others who have like desires in locating

family members or doing other genealogical rersearch in Bourbon County,
Kansas.

My interest in Bourbon Co., KS comes because my wife's mother was born
and raised
in Ft. Scott, KS. Her mother and grandmother also lived there at one
time. Various family members (aunts, uncles & cousins) have continued
to live in the Ft. Scott area to this day.

I myself was born and raised in California where my parents moved to
after World War II. I currently live in Lancaster, California and have
been married 27-1/2 years, having raised a son, who himself is married
and has 2 sons of his own. He lives in McAllen, TX.

I have found that the lists I've taken part in have helped a lot in
locating family members on either my own or that of my wife's family.

My surnames that I am looking information up on are PATTERSONs, McMAINS,
and the HOBSONs. A few related to the McMAINS are still in the area.

Enjoy this new site and I do hope that it will assist you users with
your genealogical work. It is intended to be a tool for that purpose.

Take care & God Bless,

Sincerily,
Edward A. Black, Sr.
