Welcome to the Booth Family Web Site.
This site has information about the descendents and families of Morris Benjamin Beryl Kubowitzki, born in Riga, Latvia, in 1874. He came to America with his family around 1900, took the name Booth, and settled in Virginia, MN. The family, seven sons and one daughter, moved to Chicago after WW I.
Elias (Al) Booth died on February 2, 2007. Al was the last surviving member of his generation, which spanned 110 years. We are collecting any material about Al that the Booth family would like to make available on this site.
