Members With only 580 Boyd's listed in this Ancestry data base, it would mean that may Cemeteries have yet to included. Where my own Boyd family comes from on the Tweed River area of New South Wales would make up most of those 580 names alone and I know that there are "quite" a lot more Boyd families in Australia than just my own family. So you will need to look in other areas to find your Boyd ancestors in Australia.

Mike: In the USA most of the Genealogical Societies have projects to transcribe local cemetery records and monument inscriptions (tombstones.) Generally the Societies sell "cemetery books" to raise funds and also keep copies in local libraries. Many may also have a method of viewing the records online. Are you aware of such undertakings in Oz? What resources are there that others might not be aware of for Australia? Thanks! Yours Aye, Lauren
