Announcement: Boyd Mountain of Waynesville, NC, featured in a recent issue of Our State magazine (NC), will be the location of Mike Boyd's talk on Clan Boyd History and Genealogy.  Mike will present his talk in the "Clinch Valley Cabin" at Boyd Mountain on Sunday afternoon, May 1st, from 3:00 - 6:00 p.m.  Light refreshments will be provided.  Directions and information are available at http://boydmountain.com/index-home.html.  The venue will be open to us after 2:30 p.m., so please plan accordingly. **This location may appeal to Boyd researchers in a four-state area, including northeast Georgia, southeast Tennessee, northwest South Carolina and of course North Carolina. As Judith recently pointed out, "the talk will be appropriate for veteran genealogists and those just starting to explore their family history. If you have a family tree, please print it out or put it on a thumb drive and bring it to the meeting. Mike has collected over 640 individual Boyd families and is working towards connecting all of these families together." Please join us for sharing family trees and for the amazing history of Clan Boyd in beautiful, mountain surroundings of Waynesville (Haywood County), North Carolina. RSVP to me, please?  This way I can let the kind folks at Boyd Mountain know how many chairs to have for us, and how many refreshments I should bring.  Thank you so much!

I will look forward to seeing and talking to people from all 4 States. Hopefully, I can give you a very good outline of Clan Boyd History and also be able to help both experienced and new family tree searchers. This in turn will allow you to pass this onto your own Boyd family or any other Boyd you might meet in future. One of the most important roles that list members can do is to tell other Boyds about the BOYD@rootsweb.com net list, where they can share their family tree, news about their own family or other Boyd issues like medical problems, etc, and that there is an House of Boyd Society - because they are not the only Boyds in the World.
