Thank you for your note. I don't think I am researching the Boyd's of Swansea. My william and Thomas are from Ireland and Scotland. Then again...maybe that's my problem :-). I have hit a brick wall with them. Currently I am awaiting several books about the Cemetary's of Northern Ireland in the hopes that I might find a crack in the wall. I do have records for William and his family all in Scotland. I do t believe he ever moved out of that area in his later life. I have nothing on Thomas. If I can help you in anyway I will. I have been the receiver of many records from research experts who have helped with my Italian family so I know the benefits of sharing. I will be working more on my trees just after the holiday. I have 4 young children so I'm a bit overwhelmed right now with holiday obligations. We will talk again soon, Cheers Susan Sent from my iPhone Susan Hemsley Cicala☎ > On Dec 15, 2015, at 6:22 PM, Warren Stoddart via <boyd@rootsweb.com> wrote: > > Susan, > > Firstly please excuse me for the intrusion as you are probably a busy person.

I know not who William married or any other info about the Boyds. I have researched other sides of my family without a many problems but I have come to stop on William Boyd of Swansea. I have absolutely nothing on him i.e. I cannot locate on the net who his parents were or when or where they came from prior to Swansea. If you have this info and are willing to pass it on then I woiuld be most grateful. > > The one interesting point that I have had passed on to me is that both William and Thomas streets in Swansea were named for the aforesaid Boyds. > > If you can assist by steering me in the right direction then I would be most grateful. > > Thank for taking the time to read this letter, > > Sincerely > Warren Stoddart > Mannering Park > > > > > > ==================== > *** Remember to trim your message before hitting send or your message may be held on the server for being too large due to excessive quoting. *** > > > Deleting quotations of earlier messages will help keep within the limits when replying. > > Check your email client's help file if directions are needed. > ====================================== > > > > {{{{{{{{{ Want to HOST a BOYD Tent at events near you?
