Members given Lisa Williamson query about how to post to House of Boyd Members now may be a GOOD TIME to remind list members that if you remain "silent" on this list and only receive other peoples queries you are very unlikely find your "problem" Boyds or the next generation back in your family tree. I assume that there are hundreds or thousands on this list. So you need to advertise what you are looking for in YOUR FAMILY BRANCH. This will allow others to see. They can't SEE UNLESS YOU TELL THEM. The Email is quite useful, but I do not think it can read brains yet. While I have some 630 Separate Boyd family chapters and I THINK THAT FROM LAST YEARS TRIP HAVE COME HOME WITH KNOWN DATA FOR ANOTHER 500 FAMILY CHAPTERS. (I have no idea how many pages these 630 chapters will make up). While this sounds quite a lot of information, I estimate that it is only less than 1 precent of Clan Boyd members spaning some 28 generations from 1111 AD. So we need to advertise what each of us are looking for to let others know. So provide as much information as you know (or have been able to prove). And make a note of what is family folklore or theory, so that others in the future can know fact from fiction. It is very easy to mix Boyd families, when you have so many James, John, Robert Thomas and William Boyd families living together. I am currently trying to get time to research the John Boyd family that Mindy posted form the DAR book on 19 February, which gives 10 children. I think that one of these might belong to another Boyd family who starts with a William Boyd and Mary Wasson (But I will do more research and post that later) Thank you Mike Boyd Historical Committee, HBS
