I see on my TV News this morning that President Obama saved the turkey, so it must be Thanks Giving in the USA this Thursday. While last nights News was showing the various snow storms, so I expect that one or two of our US cousins will have had to shovel some snow this morning. So this thanks giving day, when the family meets, it may be good idea to to talk about where your Boyd families came from and to get the assistance of all members to help build your family Branch. The second thing that might also be discussed is that for mature families, with no children under 21 years old – I think they still like to get presents – the family who have male Boyd members might like to combine for Christmas to buy one of the male Boyds a 67 marker DNA test.
