Acknowledgements

Louise (Hess) Haggis references Babara's book quite extensively while researching her own family background. However, many of the other Botrivier families in Babara's book are actually also related to each other and to Louise's family through marriage. Louise is eternally greatful for the foresight shown by Babara Townsend to have undertaken this project.
