Hi Ursula, 
 
So nice to hear from you in your wonderful English. My mother and 
grandparents chose not to teach us German. It was a great loss. Their 
intentions were good. They wanted us to be “Americans". 
 
Your project is great and may finally answer the question I’ve always 
had about why my ancestors emigrated. I’m a retired social sciences 
teacher. I thought I would just briefly outline my siblings and then fill 
in where I can later. 
 
1. Mary Frances Boyle was born December 17, 1941 in Seattle, Washington 
and died December 22, 2001 in Ashland, Oregon. She was married to Phillip 
O Charbonneau in Seattle and they had four daughters. She had a son Miguel 
Cisneros and remarried a man named Chuck Harshman who predeceased her.

These are just my initial thoughts off the top of my head while I’m 
waiting for dinner to cook. I’ll do some research and fill in some 
blanks. I don’t want to misstate anything.  
 
One more thing. My mother, Pauline, died July 26, 1970.  
 
Looking forward to working with you. 
 
Happy Valentine’s Day, 
Liz
