Booth & Nichols
Family Organization

The Booth and Nichols Family Organization (BNFO) is a large Family Organization with ties to the Richard Brough Family Organization (RBFO). RBFO Genealogists currently assist the BNFO with genealogical research and historical documentation.

In the late 1990's, Ethel Mickelson Brough of West Jordan, Utah, began researching the ancestry and genealogy of her Booth and Nichols family, which extends from--or is associated with--her mother, Helen Isabel Nichols (1913-2000; shown below). The following genealogical database and webstie sections contain extensive nformation on related Booth and Nichols families and their ancestors and descendants:

Ethel Mickeson (b.1947) married Robert Clayton Brough (b.1950) in 1973 in Ogden, Utah. They have four children (shown above). Clayton is a geography teacher and television weather forecaster in Utah.

Helen Isabel Nichols (1913-2000) married Clark Alexander Mickelson (1912-1993) in 1935 in Logan, Utah. They had five children (shown above). Clark was a dairyman and farmer in Lago (Grace), Idaho.

During the past ten years, Ethel M. Brough has conducted research at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah (shown above), on the English ancestors and descendants of Benjamin Thomas Nichols (1875-1934) and Olive Lovenia Booth (1877-1934). At times, she has found some of the English genealogical records from the 1600's to the early 1800's somewhat difficult to read (as shown below).

In 2002, Forrest Rick McConkie and Evelyn Jean Nichols McConkie published a 475-page book on The Life and Times of Benjamin Thomas Nichols and his wife Olive Lovenia Booth, 1875-1934--which included extensive histories, photographs and genealogies of their descendants and ancestors. The book (shown below) is still available from the McConkie's, via: Jennies Family Histories, P.O. Box 702094, West Valley City, Utah, 84070, phone: 801-966-0537; email: ricknev@xmission.com.
