Mick,

Sorry I haven't answered your email.  I was busy "fixing" my Boone page.  I had to reapply for my Boone Guestbook because of inactivity.

I am unaware if there has been any study further back than George Boone but if you like I can post your query to the page and if anyone is researching back further then that may help.

I noticed you were a trainer for Homeland Security.  My brother, who died in 2000 was also a trainer after his retirement with the U.S. State Department.  He coordinated a facility near Tucson, AZ for years after his retirement called Marana.  It was an old Korean era Air Force base and converted into a training facility in the mid 1980's through the early 1990's.  It was closed and he worked the remainder of his life for USAID. 

Take a look at the page now.

Mick,

I haven't posted any updates to the Boone site in quite some time.  I wouldn't doubt there have been many changes.  Is there by chance a DNA study for the Boone family surname?  Take the Crockett family for instance.  Through DNA they have found that all the Crockett lines that migrated from Pennsylvania and Delaware were completely different halogroups than the Crocketts from Virginia and Maryland.  For years they were thought to have been one and the same family.

Would make for an interesting study.

I will post the update this evening.

Have a good evening.
