Oops! I should have said that Ontario was Canada West and Quebec was Canada East. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of John Carey Sent: March-12-14 2:37 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [BOYD] Detroit, MI Boyds Just some additional information. 1. The 1841 census was the earliest that I have accessed for what became Ontario. Ontario was originally known as Upper Canada. Quebec was Lower Canada. After they united under one legislature and Governor General, Ontario was known as Canada East and Quebec was Canada West. The 1841 census of Canada East was actually conducted in 1842. They have occurred every 10 years since then. Check out this link. http://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/census/Pages/census.aspx 2. Passenger lists are spotty. Nobody could come directly to Ontario. There were a number of ports of entry since we had several separate colonies that were not united until 1867. In addition to Halifax and Quebec City, Saint John NB and Montreal were popular. In addition, many folks came via the U.S. My Boyd ancestor came to Ontario via New York. 3. Tax assessments were conducted in the 1800s and might be available for a specific region but are generally hard to access because most are not digitized. They, along with land records, might be locally held in the County or in the provincial archives. It is worth looking into land grants if your ancestors were early enough. 4. I have never seen a post office directory. There are city directories, some of which go back to the 1800s. Again, many of these are not digitized. 5. County atlases were produced in the late 1800s for most counties. They were reproduced in 1967 as part of Ontario's centennial projects and hard copies of the reproductions given to public libraries throughout the province. They are generally still available in the Reference section of any large public library in Ontario. They have county histories, sketches of prominent subscribers, etc. so they are a great resource. In one, much to my surprise, I found my Boyd ancestor running a sawmill and living about 2 miles from where I now live. I was born hundreds of miles from here and had no idea that he lived in this area before then. You can learn about them and search for surnames at http://digital.library.mcgill.ca/CountyAtlas/ but accessing hard copies is much better if you can get someone to do it. As suggested, I agree that you cannot beat Ancestry.ca for BMDs etc. Not so much for church records though.

Most counties seem to have local historical societies and some produce publications on the history of their county. There are all pretty much volunteer efforts. The publications tend to be pretty general, so unless your family was prominent you won't likely find any mention of them. Although the society members themselves might be helpful. > > 6) Any other records that people might be able to view for Ontario, so > they can find their family? Museum archives, church records, property ownership records, ... If you are willing to cough up some coin, Ancestry.ca has pretty complete Canadian records available online. --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!

Mike, Cool thread, thanks for starting it. Arnulf deHesdin was a Flemish nobleman who held Pais deCalais where Avelina was born. There is much to be found out about him in both the Doomesday book and the records of the Exchequer. He was a KNOWN companion at the battle of Hastings as one of the five knights under the banner of Robert Malet. Gaultier de Caen and Arnulf de Hesdin accompanied Malet after the battle in the burial of the fallen king Harold. By the Dommesday census we find Robert Malet as owner of most of England and he shared it with his faithful knights quite generously. To Gaultier he gave Norfolk, to Arnulf he gave Suffolk. Avilina took up residence and married the young Alan fitz Flad. Gaultier returned to Normandy never taking permanent residence in Norfolk but his son who had came of age after the conquest is shown in the Doomesday book to be serving Robert Malet as Sheriff of Norfolk in place of his father, where he built the castle of Horsford, the birthplace of our Simon. After the death of Alan fitzFlad, Avelina married Robert son of Gaultier. There are several times when the Kings court was held at Horsford, sometimes even presided over by Avelina in the absence of her Sovereign and husband. Arnulf was a knight of St. John after the conquest and was a major knight of the first crusade. He died and is somewhere buried under the walls of Jerusalem. It is important to note here that history records Arnulf as a "Knight of St John" (later to be known as the knights hospitaller), not as a Templar, as the Order of the Temple was not officially recognized as an order until 1129. But he was there in Jerusalem when the original nine knights formed the order and may indeed be one of the un-named founders. Also note: it is undisputed that Alan fitzWalter the first high Steward absolutely was a Knight Templar who accompanied Richard the Lionheart to Jerusalem and actually spent very little of his adult life in Scotland. It is Gaultier deCaen (Walter father of Robert the sheriff of Norfolk/Suffolk)) whom we see in the Doomesday book as the Norman Exchequer who built the treasury and court at Caen. As far as proof goes. If any there ever was it was blown up on D-Day. We must first piece together the pieces from various historical sources before we can assemble the puzzle.Most of it written in a now extinct language and hidden in the vatican archive catacombs.

Mike, Sorry, I must take issue with this. I believe we have conclusively shown what the DNA confirms. Alan FitzVlad had nothing to do with our common origin but rather Avilina's second husband Robert FitzWalter son of Gautier de Caen, a companion of the Conquerer, who did indeed come from Normandy and not Brittany was the father of the Boyd. The court of the exchequer at Caen, built by William after the conquest to house the treasury does indeed still stand in the ancient region of Calvados. This is why history confounds "Simon father of the Boyd/ Simon fitzAlan (there was no such moniker)/ and Simon deCalvados/ Simon deCaen and also Simon deChesney. When we understand that these Simon's are all the same person, we begin to see the picture of him as a just and noble knight in the glory days of chivalry who traveled in Scotland, England, and mainland Normandy, building churches/abbeys and amassing castled properties. I would also point out the other connections this provides to another noble line that we sometimes forget about. Beside being the half brother by mother to Walter fitzAlan progenitor of the Stewart dynasty, our Simon was also the half brother by father of William deChesney by his first wife Sybil deChesney who received his mothers inheritance and took her name and remained at Horesford in Norfolk and served king Stephen in the families traditional capacity as sheriff of Norfolk/Suffolk. Just how many buildings this Simon fitzRobert/ deCaen/ deCalvados/ deChesney was involved in the founding of, history has yet to make a list. This family was particularly familiar to the Benedictine order of Cluniac builder monks, in whom we can follow the life of our Simon as they constructed several great buildings besides the great court of the exchequer at Caen in Normandy during his lifetime, many of which he set his seal on the charter of, among them are: Paisley, Renfrew, Abroath, and Kilwinning in Scotland; Horsford castle, Thetford, Norwich, and Castle Acre priories (possible others) in England; Following the trail of this order of builder monks through the lifetime of Simon leads us straight through Scotland and out to the Isle of Bute, called at that time in the native tongue Eilean Bhòid, where I am sure history will soon begin to record that our Simon and his son Robert built the foundation of what was to become Rothesey Castle while in the service of the Steward while he (both Alan and Walter) was absent on crusade, thus the moniker that we use today Boyd, derived from Robert deBoyt, a Franco/ Latin transliteration of Robert from the isle of Bute This has nothing to do with the 70th anniversary of D-Day, but we must stop propelling the falsehood that we descend from fitzFlad.

Most counties seem to have local historical societies and some produce publications on the history of their county. There are all pretty much volunteer efforts. The publications tend to be pretty general, so unless your family was prominent you won't likely find any mention of them. Although the society members themselves might be helpful. > > 6) Any other records that people might be able to view for Ontario, so > they can find their family? Museum archives, church records, property ownership records, ... If you are willing to cough up some coin, Ancestry.ca has pretty complete Canadian records available online. --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!

Maria and others In the 1830's period, it seems that a number of Boyd went to Ontario, Canada. I am not sure if this was to join other family or it Ontario was then offering land. Some of these families "seem" to have stayed a decade or more in Ontario and then moved "west" into Michigan, USA or further west into USA States. I do not know enough about researching in Canada to help find these families. So hear are some basic questions:- 1) In Canada are the Census every 10 years like the USA or every 5 years like hear in Australia? Or in the 1800's were the Census for Ontario every 10 years? 2) What shipping or passenger list are available for Canada in the 1800's? 3) Are there any "tax" lists available for Counties, within Ontario during the 1800's or for the Province/Colony? 4) Are there any Post Office Directories available in this period for Ontario? 5) Are there any County histories for areas within Ontario that people might find their family outlined or arrival recorded? 6) Any other records that people might be able to view for Ontario, so they can find their family? Hopefully, some of our Canadian cousins can answer some of these questions Mike Boyd Historical Committee, HBS -----Original Message----- From: Maria Mahala Sent: Wednesday, March 12, 2014 1:04 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [BOYD] Detroit, MI Boyds Steve, Does your Boyds have any connection to the Douglas or Andersons?

No connection to Douglas or Anderson that I am aware of. My branch of the family came to Canada in 1883 with my great grandfather Gowan Boyd. Who was married to Johanna Lowther. Gowan had a brother, Charles, who came to Canada about the same time and his branch of the family wound up in Calgary, Alberta. I don't know much about that branch but I can put you in contact with someone who does.

Glenda Thank you for this Email. I knew that this family was familiar to me, but I first could not find it under Cecil County, Maryland. On a second thought, I would check to see if he was a DAR listing and found I have listed his family was Ch 25/1260 in Volume 25 for Boyd families in PA. His DAR entry is - Details? DAR Patriot Index of 1990. William: b 10-8-1731 IR d 4-2-1821 PA m Sarah Johnson PS DE All this only says that he came from Ireland, but not the County or any area within a County. The Clan Johnson came from the River Nith Valley in Dumfriesshire, both north and south of Dumfries. This is near the Maxwell's whom I know that the Boyds had close links with. So you maybe looking for an area in Ireland where either the Johnson's or Maxwell's settled and William Boyd's might have also come form the Dumfriesshire area of Scotland in the 1600's. Mike Boyd -----Original Message----- From: Glenda Denniston Sent: Monday, March 10, 2014 11:38 AM To: [email protected] Cc: Glenda Denniston ; Norman Boyd Subject: William Boyd and Sarah Johnson descendants Hi, Mike - I'm a direct descendant of William Boyd, b. 1731 in Ireland, and his wife Sarah Johnson (differing reports of birthplace - Ireland or Cecil Co., Maryland). My line runs through William's son, William (my 3rd great grandfather), b. 1765 in Cecil Co., Maryland or in Delaware. His tombstone inscription (Greenfield Cemetery in Highland Co., OH) says he was born in Delaware. From what I've been reading, though, there may not be an actual conflict as to place of birth - the borders of Maryland, Delaware and PA were at this time contested; the different accounts might actually be referring to the same place. At any rate, this younger William Boyd was born in the southeast colonies, and not in Ireland, which means that the family came to America before 1765. He then moved with his father and the rest of his family to Pennsylvania. In 1816 he moved to Ohio with other members of his family, including his wife, Anna Murray and their son John, b. 1806 in Northumberland PA (my 2nd great grandfather). This William died in Greenfield, Highland Co., OH in 1857. His father and several of his siblings had already moved to Waterford, Eire Co, OH where they remained. John, b. 1806, married in Ohio and had a son, John Wesley Boyd (my great grandfather). His son, Leon Ellis Boyd, married Frieda Marie Prietsch in Cincinnati. I have a couple good photographs of John Wesley Boyd, one with his grandson Norman Wingate Boyd, my late father. I have one sister and two brothers. My brother Norman Wingate Boyd Jr. And I were recently genotyped (his Y DNA tested by several companies including Family Tree DNA, at the 111-marker level). You are welcome to any of this information - it's all public, and I'll be happy to "invite" you to check the data if you want to. Just let me know. The thing I've found most interesting is that his Y DNA very closely resembles that of the Ian Cam branch of the MacGregor clan. Most people with the surname Boyd are quite different. We have, though, found at least some other Boyd's with the "MacGregor pattern." Our branch of Boyd's seems to be in actuality a branch of MacGregors who changed their surname (the MacGregor surname was outlawed in Scotland through much of the 1700s). I'd very much like to get other male Boyd's who are descended from William, b. 1731 DNA-tested. This could help sort out the innumerable confusing Boyd's who came to America. Another major problem is the seeming confusion of at least two Pennsylvania William Boyd's : 1) My William, b. 1731 in Ireland, emigrating via Newcastle to America and showing up in Northumberland County and later in Eire Co. PA, with some of his children accompanying him and others instead traveling Highland Co., OH or elsewhere (Robert). 2) The William Boyd family detailed in Five Scotch Irish Families... Who lived in Lancaster County. The list of children in these two different William Boyd families are noticeably different from each other. Because of the ease of importing data from other people's files in Ancestry.com, some of the supporting data for each of these families has become quite messed up in various family trees. I'm no genealogist, but I've spent many hours over the years trying to unravel these various Boyd connections. I think I might have a major lead in the DNA evidence I've mentioned, but it will only be useful for genealogy if descendants of other Boyd lines are tested (at 67, or better yet 111 or more markers for Y DNA) and the results compared with each other. I'm sure this is more than enough from me for the moment, but if you hear of other US Boyds who have been genetically tested, please let me know. I'm copying my brother as well as one other Boyd family member who has corresponded with me, so that as many people as possible will be comparing data. Thanks, Glenda (Boyd) Denniston in Madison, WI=

I should have read a little further 'However, as J. H. Round demonstrated in his paper on the Cheney family (The Genealogist, new series, 18, p 13), the truth is the following: "Alan fitz Flaad married Aveline of Hesdin. They had two sons, William and Walter. Aveline of Hesdin, married secondly Robert fitz Walter of Caen. Aveline's second marriage produced Simon "de Caisneto" of Norfolk and others. So it would appear Rober FitzWalter came from Caen.

Mike; I live near Tillsonburg, which is a small town approx. 60 km southeast of London, Ontario. About 3 hours drive from Detroit. I only have contact with a very small group of Boyds in my own immediate family so any get together I could organize would be exceedingly small and not really worth your effort. I am only really interested in tracing my own ancestors, not all of the distant cousins, so I have not made an effort to track down my father's extended family. He had all kinds of aunts, uncles and cousins, most of whom I have never met. As I understand it this branch of the family had a running feud going that would have made the Hatfields and McCoys seem tame by comparison. :) Judging by the lack on any detectable activity in the various forums and genealogy sites it doesn't appear as though there is a great deal of interest among the other Boyds in this area. My sister and I seem to be the only ones that are actively pursuing it. While I appreciate your offer, I don't that think that I am the person to organize a meeting of the Boyds in this area. I can contribute my research to the pool and I can link my tree to one done by a distant cousin in Calgary if that would be of any help. If you let me know when you are going to be in Detroit I might be able to make the trip down. I know my father had some family in the Windsor area, which is right across the border from Detroit.

Steve Which part of Ontario do you live? And how hard might it be to organise a meeting of Boyd and Boyd descendants in your area of Ontario? I expect that I will stay in Scotland for an extra week at the beginning of July 2014, to visit the Libraries in Edinburgh before I come home. I assume that will be give about 2 weeks home before I will need to catch a plane to Detroit, MI. I will be 70 years old this year, so would like to be able to help as many people with their family trees and pass on Boyd history.

Heather I just looked at these dates in the Calendar. The 3rd is a Sunday and 4th a Monday, so I assume that they are WRONG and should be 2nd and 3rd August 2014. Livonia Games are run by the St Andrews society of Detroit, MI. So I assume that their website will provide you with more details, etc than I can at present. No I do not know if anything - in terms of Games - will be held shortly afterwards in Ontario. All that I know is that a "good number" of Boyd went to Ontario. I have no idea which part. Nor do I know if any Boyd still live there today.

While I will be attending these games and helping to man the Boyd tent and answer questions on queries, etc, I have not yet THOUGHT ABOUT when I will arrive in Detroit, MI. I usually get a plane from Brisbane directly to Los Angles. However, my travel agent normally finds it cheaper for me to make two legs rather than take any available direct flight. So is there anyone who would wish to speak to a Boyd group or their Family History Society on Wednesday (30 July) or Thursday (31 July)? I have been told that the Detroit Public Library is one of the larger Libraries in the USA, so I expect that I will spend some days visiting there to search for Boyd families. I have not given any thought about how long I will stay, but I would like to be able to contact some Boyd History talks after these games. Either in Ontario, Canada or some other locations in Canada or the USA as I make my way back to Los Angles. So would you like me to stop by your place, so I can talk the Boyds in your area of the World. Oh are there any Games the following weekend 9-10 August, somewhere in or around Detroit where I might be able to get to by bus or train? I would like to be able to pass onto other Boyds some of the Boyd family history that I have discovered in the last 10 years of travelling to Scotland.
