Dear: Ms. Bosworth:
My Name is Mark Wilson. My Greatgrandmother was Nora Bosworth Wilson the oldiest sister of Allie Rucker Bosworth. In reviewing your personal information, I see that you were born in California and also lived in Virginia. Since this coincides with Allie’s history, I thought I might take a chance and see if you are related to Allie. The only child I have been able to trace was Allen Bernard Bosworth. If you are related and if you are at all interested in family history, I would love to communicate with you. I have a number of photos of Woodie and Bettie as well as some of the children.
Mark
Hi Mark,
I have tried to reply and the e mail has gotten kicked back both times. Any chance you have an alternate address?
We do share some family and I’d love to talk to you about it.
Thanks,
Jamie
