It is with
great pleasure that I provide a link from my Dickson family web pages to the Boa family web pages. At
some point in their lives, most people become curious about whom they are, why
they were born into a particular set of circumstances and who their ancestors
were. Joanne M. (Dickson) Fosti, and Hunter Boa are third cousins recently reunited via the Internet!
