Jonette, right now I'm doing some traveling, but when I'm back home in Cumberland County, I'll be glad to do some follow-up research for you. I don't know if I'll find anything helpful, but I'll try.

Eastern Daylight Time, jrkowalik@gmail.com writes: Mike and Boyd list I have finally had the opportunity to pursue some of the information I was given after dealing with a career change and move (always fun) My William Boyd does not have a dealth certificate as Dallas Co did not record at that time. I do however have a scrap of information from a cousin that shows William was from Juanita Township Cumberland Co PA.....althuogh I have been unable to verify this myself. I am VERY interested in the family that you, Mike, listed as coming from that township as I'm not so sure that the birth year I have for William is totally accurate. It seems that the family lost all contact with others. How do I get a copy of the chapter you were speaking of regarding this other Boyd family?
