Mike, I used to live in Vancouver, BC and was wondering, please, to which library did you go to acquire the names of these books? Did you ask me which Library in BC was a good one? I apologize, but my memory is not very clear. But, the Cloverdale Library is the best one in BC. It is even better than the Utah one. It even covers the whole western portion of the world. Shannah
Shannah Yes it was at the Cloverdale Library that one of the staff looked at his PC and came up with the number of 787 Boyd books. I had worked at the Central Library for two days with Rosemary Cryer and had gone with all or most of their family history Books - which were not very many for such a Library. So on the Saturday, Rosemary said we should go to the BC Genealogical Society at Surry. This was quite good, but you needed to be a local to find their building and also have a car. We were doing quite well until a storm caused a blackout in the area and we had to use the light form the window to check the index for Boyds and "feel" the shelves to find the books. So after we had some lunch down the street, which also did not have any power, we decided to go to Cloverdale - which was further out - and hope that it did have power. It took some time to get there due to traffic congestion due to traffic lights not working, and we only had less than an hour before it closed. I have yet to get to that material, so I can sort it out and make a list of what we found. But when I do that I will post list, so you know what is there. For some reason BC Canada seems to be a place where many Boyds and descendants have settled.
