Dear Phyllis, I received your notice regarding the Boyd clan last October, but at the time I was unfortunately too busy with two serious illnesses in the family, and the move of my 90 year old parents into an assisted living facility. I have wanted to contact you since, and apologize that it has taken this long. We do not have a lot of our own Boyd genealogy available, and are definitely interested in your work. Here are the only bits I have offhand - I'm sure my father and perhaps my sister (Sally Boyd, now Jegier, residing near Philadelphia) can offer more. My father - Roger White Boyd - was born in Wallingford CT on August 28, 1920. He just celebrated his 90th last year, and now resides at Evergreen Woods retirement facility in North Branford. His father was John Clinton Boyd, who died of tuberculosis when my father was quite young - I believe around 1934. My father had a brother and two sisters, now deceased. The brother - William - was with the military, they moved quite a bit, but have never resided in CT I have 3 male Boyd cousins from my father's brother, all on the west coast now I believe. One sister of my father died young, the other had no children .I was told the family roots were before CT in the Baltimore area, but that is about the extent of my limited knowledge! Please let me know what I can do to delve deeper into our own Boyd family roots, and if and how and I can assist you in putting together the larger picture. In the meantime, all the best! Bryant Boyd

Dear Cousins: If you want to reply to Bryant, please include his address in your response. His address listed in the post <bryantboyd@nknet.com> is NOT subscribed to the list. I released his message from the server so it would post.
