Fred Francis Bolger was born 26 Jan 1893 in Carroll Co, Iowa, the son of Thomas Edmund Bolger and Jessie Amanda (Dolan) Bolger. He was the oldest of the four Bolger living to adulthood.
Thomas Edmund Bolger was born 20 May 1861 in Cedar Co, Iowa, the son of Michael Bolger and Harriett Dolan. Thomas was the fourth of their seven children to reach adulthood.
Michael Bolger is one of Nancy’s research brick walls. All indications are that he was born in Ireland in the first two decades of the 1800s, but no records have provided certainly beyond that, following much research. There are many, many ‘leads’ but no certainty at this time, making this surname a very short line, in contrast to most of her others.
Families are Forever! ;-)
I know that Arrion worked on this during the summer. She now has a "best guess" based on available evidence.
ReplyDeleteI'll be curious to see what that might be. Thanks for the heads-up! ;-)
