Student Traces Family During -London Trip
By Dave Eisnaugle
During the recent college trip to London, Jeff Boehm went with two purposes in mind. First, to see and appreciate the city of London, and secondly, to attempt to find relatives included in his family tree.
The first relative he sought to find more about was Sir John Gage, a Knight of the Royal Garter, from the 1 500s. Jeff visited Saint George's Chapel, where the Royal Garter originated, in order to seek records.
He found on display the enameled family crest of Sir John Gage, along with other Knights. The title is highly prestigious, with Knighthood bestowed upon such imm if"li:rn t figures as Wi nston Churchill.
Not knowing where to turn next, the problem was soon solved when two group members shopping in Harrod's, noticed a shop with the nam� Elizabeth Gage emblazoned on it
Knocking on the shop's door, Boehm found himself talking to one of his distant aunts, Elizabeth Gage. During the conversation, Boehm asked about Firel Place, the Manor owned by the Gages· since the 1400s. To his amazement, there is still a Lord Gage living in the Manor.
Realizing the trip would not be complete if he did not visit Firel Place, h.e rnade plans to leave the following day.
Travelling by train and taxi to Firel, Boehm admired the small town. "Firel was charming," remarked Boehm. "The town looked like it came straight from Dicken's. The style was of an old English town."

The taxi left him at the gate of Firel Place, giving him a chance to survey the land. Straight ahead was a lane, with woods to the right, and centurturies· old storage houses.
With the help of a gardener, Boehm walked past tennis courts and servants quarters on the way to the Manor. A butler led him into a sitting room, where he anxiously waited for Lord Gage.
Moments later, a short, greyhaired, elderly man entered with the help of a cane. Lord Gage, at the age of 85, looked as distinguished as the many family portraits that decorated the walls.
Talking with Lord Gage, Boehm found that Lord Gage still manages the affairs of the estate; is the longest member in the House of Lords, and is one of the last few true England Squires.
Lord Gage also mentioned that his family owns the town of Firel. Even at his age, Lord Gaqe is

Even though many pictures were taken of the trip, none is as vivid as Boehm's recollection of conversing with a man who heightened the importance of his family's history.
While in the library, Lord Gage showed Boehm seven books of their family tree, which contained biographies of prominent relatives. Boehm learned that their family came to America in the early 1600s.
Thanking Lord Gage for the great pleasure of meeting him, Boehm parted with a sense of
