Thank you, Bruce! It is indeed a refreshing breakthrough to break through a "brick wall" and to move ahead two generations at that. Indeed, my new brick wall is one to work on, behind these brick walls awaits a new one! I do believe though that the genealogy information we all respectively seek is out there just awaiting to be discovered. Best wishes to you on your brick wall, we are distantly related via a common male shared Boyd forefather as Y DNA has told us. I'll certainly keep you posted if I come across anything in reference to your line.
