Abstract
We study certain countable locally finite groups attached to minimal homeomorphisms, and prove that the isomorphism relation on simple, countable, locally finite groups is a universal relation arising from a Borel $S_\infty $-action. This work also provides a dynamical approach to a result of Giordano, Putnam and Skau characterizing strong orbit equivalence.
