Of stimulating very greatly my interest in genealogical work, especially in this direction, and having found without difficulty a clear record Of Boardman descent in this country, the Old letter of Julian Boreman printed by Hinman, with its evidence as to the home Of the family in England, next strongly attracted my atten tion. With the Object Of seeing for myself the partly obliterated name Of the home which it contained, I introduced myself to Mr. W. F. J. Boardman, who allowed me to look at the original, and I afterwards Spent some time in study Of English maps, topograph ical dictionaries and county histories, in the effort to find a clue leading to the discovery Of this lost town. When later the time came to carry out a long-cherished plan Of travel abroad, I em braced the opportunity afforded by a stay in England, by then attempting to solve the question in which I had now become deep ly interested, with the result told in these pages.
