Completed BONEY / BOONIE family of Pennsylvania Ancestry hints and Family Search Indexing

The last few weeks I have not spent much time working on the family history.  I have become very interested in Family Searches new indexing project of US Obituaries, spending two or three hours each day on it. These are very confusing records.  Not an easy indexing project but I am really enjoying it.

I was able to finish all of Ancestry's shaky leaves hints for the Boney / Boonie family.  This family alone expanded my family tree by over 90 people.  For the most part the family was exceptionally well documented.

The Boney/Boonie family is connected to the Varner family by Mary B Varner (1830 - 1911).  Mary married Israel Boney (1820 - 1893) somewhere around 1847.  I have not been able to find any sort of marriage document so this hypotheses is based on census, birth and burial records.  Mary B Varner was the daughter of my Great granduncle John Peter Varner and Barbara Leckenton.

The Boney/Boonie family that I have studied have, for the most part, appeared to have stayed in the Juniata / Snyder County, Pennsylvania area.  The only thing that I have done for this family is taken the shaky green leaf hints from my Ancestry Member Tree, verified them and updated my family tree.  I have done no further research, so this represents only the low hanging fruit.  I am sure there is much more to be learned for the family and I hope to one day be able to return to them and further document the family.

As always if I can help someone who needs more detail on the information shown below either leave a comment on this post or visit my Ancestry tree  Don Varner's family tree.
