Message Board Post:
I have a friend who lives in Perry Twnsp., Boone Cnty, in an old farmhouse that she was
told was once owned by the Galvin Family, and prior to that possibly a family by the name
of Acton. She believes the house was built prior to 1900, but has no idea of the actual
age. I am looking for information on people researching these families that might lead to
information about my friend's house, and/or anybody that might have a copy of early
Plat Maps of Perry Township. She knows very little about researching genealogy/land
history, and I told her a would ask around and do some limited research to give her a
start....I know she will need to research land records, however, they may be limited on
history information about the house itself depending on how far it dates back. Ideally,
she would really like to find some possible descendants of these family lines who might
have old photos of her house.
So, while my friend looks into land some records, if these surnames in this area sounds
familiar to anyone, or if anyone has land information on Perry Township (around the old
"town/village" of Herr), I would appreciate anything that might be of interest
to my friend in her initial search.
Thanks!
