[snip] Hi, Mark: I would love to get the GEDCOM file. My e-mail program will take attachments, and my genealogy software will read darned near any "flavor" of GEDCOM, so send away. I have been at this hobby for over a quarter century, and had numerous lines back to the Great Migration of the 1630's handed to me by my genealogist grandmother. Even so, that Polly Tarbell of Mt. Holly, Vermont was born a Boynton is a discovery of the last month. The problem for the moment is the 18th-Century connection in Vermont. However, I will squirrel away your GEDCOM for future reference. Thank you very much for your reply to my posting. By the way, to everybody, I didn't mention earlier that there is some indication that the D.A.R. marked Nathaniel Boynton's grave. He was very possibly (even likely) a Revolutionary War veteran.
