I am a member of the Boone Society and received the following from the
organizers of the 2nd Biennial Boone Family Reunion with a request to post
it on this discussion group. Members of the Boone Family of Kentucky
settled in Indiana and this is directed to those who may have in interest in
the Boone line and related families.
"The Boone Society is an association of descendants, genealogists and
historians--it is open to all--who enjoy studying the lives and times of
this remarkable family. Work is underway to constitute the Society as a
non-profit organization. The Boone Society was formed as a reference
service for researchers, a conduit for genealogists, clearing-house for
bibliographical works, and to host the biennial reunion. The Society
strives to identify and preserve historical Boone sites and documents.
There is a substantial wealth of information available about the colonial
and revolutionary periods in which the Boones made their mark. The Society
enables researchers to identify relevant reference material, or establish
family links, as the case may be, while sifting fact from fancy. Our
growing bibliography of genealogical documentation is helpful to those
seeking lineage information.
One of our principal goals is to identify Boone-related documents and
artifacts, and preserve them, where possible. With so much of America's
history being covered over by amusement parks and fast-food restaurants,
this is not an easy task, but one well worth pursuing.
If interested in joining the Society, please send an SASE to the following:
Boone Society
23 Nord Circle Road
North Oaks, MN 55127
Membership categories and dues are as follows: Individual--$12.00,
Family--[including children up to age 21]--$18.00, Explorer [a sustaining
category]--$36.00, and Life--$150.00.
Two years ago, the first Boone Family Reunion was held in St. Louis, Mo,,
where Daniel Boone spent the last 20 years of his life. The Boone Society
is pleased to announce the dates of June 17-20, 1998, as the dates set for
the 2nd Biennial Boone Family Reunion, to be held in Lexington, Kentucky.
We expect a large gathering of descendants of the Boone and related
families, genealogists and historians for the event. The reunion will be
held at the Campbell House Inn, 5 minutes south of downtown, and near the
University of Kentucky campus. Tours of historic Boone locations and
genealogical discussions will highlight the reunion. Roundtable discussions,
led by Society members and other professionals will be held throughout the
reunion.
In addition, the general election of Boone Society officers and directors
for the 1998-1999 term will be concluded at the reunion. All members may
take part, beginning with the mailing of the ballots around March.
Advertisers and sponsors are encouraged to contact the Society. Proceeds
from advertising in our newsletter and reunion publications will go toward
supporting our educational and preservation objectives, and toward
underwriting a portion of the reunion expenses. Innovative, cooperative
ideas are encouraged.
The Campbell House Inn has its own golf course for the enjoyment of Boone
reunion attendees and their families. With sponsorship, we will conduct a
Boone Cup tourney [what would Daniel Boone have thought of this???}
Best Regards from the Boone Society"
I am a member of the Society and would be happy to relay any information
about websites relating to the various Boone families, Boone Discussion
group and several related family organizations, on request.

Give me time to organize :) and the date you want to do it. Perhaps
there are folks out there looking for the same families as I am, and we
don't know about each other. The whole point of this site is to help
others, so go for it.

Someone recently posted a site containing new information on the parents
