[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Ger-Poland-Volhynia Digest, Vol 69, Issue 7

Thu Feb 5 14:26:36 PST 2009

Rose, there was a Hoffman and an Edward Boss, who moved to Dryden, Ontario in the late forties, from the Beausejour, Manitoba area. Edward Boss was well known to my parents. His granddaughters' husband plays hockey with me. This may not be the Edward Boss to whom you are referring but if it could be, I could get her to get in touch with Marlene.
