From: Mike Boyd Sent: Tuesday, November 3, 2015 9:52 AM To: boyd@rootsweb.com Subject: The Family of William Boyd, farmer, in Parish of Airth, Stirlingshire, and Ann Cumming, who were married 24 December 1773. During a recent visit to Edinburgh, Scotland, I found the family of William Boyd and Ann Cumming. However, there was no author and time period of when this research was undertaken. The only clue was that it is in handwriting – suggesting that this research might be over 50 years old. [For some unknown reason, Airth seems to have a number of Boyd families. However, their origins are not yet known. Nor is there any indication as to what religion this family might have been. The other Boyd family that is THOUGHT to have come from Airth, is the family of George and Isabella Boyd of Compass, PA – who settled there in about 1729 after coming from County Antrim and prior to there from Airth. George Boyd’s family were Espiscopal. Plus a Boyd family of Stepney, who were silk weavers and married into a Huguenot family.] “Family and descendants of William Boyd, farmer, parish of Airth in the County of Stirling, and Ann Cumming his wife, who were married 24th December 1773. 1.

[another 3 lines which can’t be read – appears that David re-married?] Do you belong to these Boyds of Airth and Glasgow, if so, I would like to hear from you please. Does anyone know the origins of this William Boyd of Airth? I suspect that as he was a farmer that his father was also a farmer in Airth.

St. Andrews Society of New York, beginning in 1756, was group of Scotsmen who formed this Society, and was a branch from another Society started in the Carolinas before 1756. There are several Boyds is leadership roles on this Society, namely a James Boyd and James Boyd Jr. http://www.standrewsny.org/sites/default/files/files/History%20Book%20as%20of%2022609_reduced.pdf For the Boyd list, do any of you know if these Boyds belong to your family. For the Ayrshire list, this website might be useful to find your family who went to the USA, especially the New York State area. Does anyone know anything about the St Andrews Society of the Carolinas? Thank you Mike Boyd Brisbane, Aust.

After some thoughts and rejections, we said why not hold it at Dean Castle in Kilmarnock.  So putting on my thinking cap, these are the Clans known to me to be living in and around Kilmarnock. The main Clan of Kilmarnock are:- -                      Wallace; -                      Boyd; -                      Campbell of Loudon; -                      Mure of Rowallan -                      Cunningham; -                      And perhaps Fullarton While the minor Clans or Families are (that I know): -                      Barr; -                      Findley; -                      Gemmell; -                      Lockhard; -      And I am sure that some other names could be added to that list as well I am sure that both Kennedy and Montgomeries had families living in Kilmarnock Do you know of any other Clan (or families)? Secondly, I would like to know if there are any Clan/Family Society or contact for those listed above and any additions Clans you might suggest? I have yet to write to the Provost of East Ayrshire Council to see what time of year there might be accommodation in Kilmarnock, if Dean Castle would be a suitable venue, etc I am viewing this as a ?homecoming? where for ?us? foreigners who know very little about Scottish Culture, Athletics, etc So I would expect a 2 or 3 day program; to go to Castles and place; be shown Scottish dancing (and even a try at it by the children, etc); why the Scots throw that log and some lectures on local history, etc. I hope be able to write to the Provost within a week to see, to see if this idea has any merit for Kilmarnock.

As to my previous Emails So the questions as to what INFORMATION might be required in a LIST OF BOOKS on Clan Boyd website 1. full book title, author's name, date, the edition (if other than first edition) place of publication, publisher, ISBN number or US Library of Congress number; 2. Cadet Branch and Family chapter Number in Clan Boyd of Scotland; 3. List of known family researchers; 4. known origins; 5. possible origins through DNA?; 6. other comments So as a new (or those old) researchers, when you find a “new” book/publication, what do you need to know about it? I assume that there are still some 600 or 700 backs that are need to be listed in the previous book list. Good discussion Mike Boyd Chairman Historical Committee House of Boyd society

When I was in Vancouver, BC, Canada, one of the Libraries that I visited said that there were some 787 books on Boyd families listed in the Worldnet system. I thought that I have most of the Boyd books listed, but this list below is only about 100 books/references, so if you know of any other Boyd books please let the list know. I will do a second post on how I can do a table on these Books, so that this book list can be added to the Clan Boyd website So please let me know if you can add any other publications to this list, as they seems to be many more that we need to find out about Thank you Mike Boyd Brisbane, Aust.

I was just about to delete this message I sent to the Boyd net list, when I thought that the information that it contains would be useful for other Net list that I am on. The short messages is that the more information that you can find BEFORE you COME to Ireland the greater CHANCE you have of find the RIGHT FAMILY YOU ARE LOOKING FOR and the staff at the various Libraries MIGHT BE ABLE ASSIST you to the right location, etc So if you are planning to travel to Ireland to look for "your family/ies" you will need to:- 1) Tell the net list's that you are on WHOM YOU ARE LOOKING FOR; WHAT PERIOD; AND KNOWN LOCATION. (While Scotland is relatively small, there is no since of looking in Ayrshire when the family is in Perthshire. Even then a single County can be a large place to try to find the "right" family. 2) Tell you Net list what sources you have looked at, so that list members can advise you of other sources you need to look - perhaps before you go or when you arrive. (There is no good in going to Ayr (Town), when the information is in Portencross.) 3) And do not forget to ask about the spouse families as they might have all information that you are after. 4) You will need to write out what information you have AND WHAT INFORMATION YOU WANT. There is nothing worse than getting home and finding out I should have asked a question that you forgot about. 5) I am sure that there are other TIPS that other list Members - both old and new - can add to this to help list members get the full value out of their first or next trip to Ireland to look for their families. 6) You also need to check with Libraries you plan to visit, that they are not having a local holiday (I have been going to Scotland since 2005, but I both forgot and did not have did not check to see if the Burns Centre in Kilmarnock was going to be opened on the four days I was visiting, so I lost two of the four days I was there. So I should have visited the PLACES I DID VISIT IN A DIFFERENT ORDER. (You are not the FIRST PERSON TO TRAVEL TO SCOTLAND TO LOOK FOR YOUR FAMILY.) Good hunting Mike Boyd Brisbane, Aust. ps. If you are on other net list feel free to post post it to them as each Net list need to have this discussion. -----Original Message----- From: Mike Boyd via Sent: Monday, October 12, 2015 10:38 AM To: boyd@rootsweb.com Subject: [BOYD] Will you be going overseas to look for your family in htenext year? List I am just in the process of answering a Email that I received while I was away by someone who went to County Antrim to to find where their relatives lived and while I was at PRONI a couple from Iowa, US where trying to find their ancestors in County Antrim, but did not know where in Antrim they came from. Both point to the need to tell the list, so others can help you with your visit and point out some of the likely places. People on his list might already know your family and be able to tell you which house, Church, Cemetery, farm etc your family came from. While others might be able tell you where you may nee to go find some of this information at the Local Studies Library and even if there is an local historian in that area that might be able to help. You are not the FIRST Boyd to go back to Ireland, Scotland, etc to look for your family, so you need to get full value for your trip (as it might be the only one your make) and it would be a great pity if because you did not ask the “corporate knowledge” of this list and other lists – such as the the LOCATION net list at rootsweb.com – that you missed out on seeing something that other people might have been able to help you. (My late wife’s cousin was working in London in the early 1980’s and was going to County Donegal to visit the area where his ancestors 6 generation before lived. He and his wife visited the village and spoke to the Post Office but he was not able to help, but the Post master sent him to visit a Mrs Cassidy who was the oldest person about, in her 80’s, whoever when he got to her house she had come to town to go some shopping from the farm she lived on. So he took some photos of the house and area around it which we got a few weeks later. My wife was able to advise him that was the house that his family had lived in the 1850’s. But when I visited in 2005, the old house had been pulled down to build a brand new house.) You will need to take as much information with you as is known by your family, so that can be used by people in the Country you are visiting and not trust your own memory. Even if you take County Antrim – which is only about 40 by 20 miles or 60 or 30 kms in area – you could be looking in the wrong corner altogether. So if you are thinking of going to the County of your families origins next northern Summer, start shortly to tell the list shortly so it can help you “plan” your trip, etc And you visit, you can’t do it in a single day. You will need to talk to “locals” on the ground – who might be out shopping the day you call – or be able to point you to other people whom might be bale to help you.

When I was at PRONI recently I found this single line of information:- “Margaret Boyd 30 December 1713 her sister husband Gilbert Hamilton” I think it was from a County Down list, but I did not make a note of what kind a list it came from. (i) What does this one line mean? (ii) So who was this Gilbert Hamilton? (iii) Who was Margaret Boyd’s sister? (iv) And where in Ireland – or in County Down – did these two families live? (v) Did it mean that Margaret Boyd was leaving “something” to Gilbert Hamilton? And does it mean that Margaret Boyd was unmarried and had no children in 1713? I would like your view please. Thank you Mike Boyd Historical Committee, HBS

Mike, You do not say what document or book you found it in. There must be some sort of context.

I put the following question to Rootsweb, with their reply. Q. I have a new free website that allows anyone with Scottish roots, to create their own family tree online. Is there any way you could relay this to all Scottish lists please ? A. Thank you for contacting RootsWeb in regard to letting others know of your website. We recommend that you subscribe to any Scottish Mailing Lists on the Roots Web site to let others know about the site. Likewise you can also post messages to our message boards that pertain to this (Kevin : RootsWeb Support Team) I'm a pensioner, born Edinburgh living in Dunoon. I very recently started a new website below, with the aim of achieving one big Scotland tree. The site is run by TNG genealogy software (Google it), and your own free tree is created on registration.

Hi group,      I've just ordered History of Sorn by Dane Love, on ebay.com.  Is anyone familiar with this publication? Thanks, Marc ArcherLudington, MI

Deborah: Thanks for the reminder that I need to renew my subscription to the Scottish Genealogy Society. FYI, they have Kilmarnock & Loudon for sale on CD and do ship international. Might pay to see if other items you, and others, might be interested in exist in their online shop.ecunningham@att.net From: Deborah Rea via <ayrshire@rootsweb.com>   I, for one would like to have made available to us the *Annals of Fenwick* and even *Kilmarnock and Loudoun District Monumental Inscriptions pre 1855* and of course Margaret Sanderson's *The People of Sixteenth Century Ayrshire*.  Do you know how we might do this with some positive results?
