Okay, You've gotten all our attention. Be sure to let us know the outcome of your findings. Good luck. My earliest Boyd is Francis Boyd, b. 1821 Ireland, m. July 30, 1839 Allen Co. Ky. Can't find him before his first marriage. Help. Paula Henry Votaw pwvotaw@quik.com

D.K. Riggs is listed as as Michigan convener for another Boyd group on their internet site. This is to inform everyone that Donald Kevin Riggs has not been a convener for or hosted any Scottish Games for that other group. The last Games D. Kevin Riggs hosted was in 1998 for the Original group. His mailing address is listed on that other site for those interested in contacting him. It is easy to see why that other group likes to keep him listed as a convener in Michigan. Rich Boyd Rogers City, Michigan

Dee - Genealogy is a great hobby. Sometimes we have to spend some $$$, but it's worth it. I guess the biggest length I went to a few years ago, when I lived in Conn, was to fly to VA, rented a car, and drove to an address (private farm land). I traipsed across a huge field, waded two big streams, found a little grove of trees, and underneath, was a single, weather-beaten headstone of my ancestor, John Lewis....born in Wales1652. My 2nd excursion was from Conn., to VA, and through the So. states, and all around Texas. Years ago we could write a request to any county, in any state, and for a couple of dollars get copies of old Probate, Land, marriage, records. But Clerks are busy now days. Anyway, I assume you've looked at the LDS site on-line, Ancestry.com, and Google....among others. If you have a question about something, let me know. Maybe I can help you.

Hello, Yes, the Clan Boyd Society is still publishing a quarterly newsletter. The next issue, our 63rd is due in April. We are the only Boyd quarterly in publication at the present time. If you have a Boyd Reunion this summer send us the details and we will publish the info in the newsletter and on our web site. If you have a query for the April issue please get it to us ASAP. Quite a few old time (and some new) members do not have Email and don't see the online stuff. For info about joining see this page: http://clanboyd.info/cbsi Rich and Jerri Lynn Boyd Rogers City, Michigan

I just thought I would mention that I sent what info I had to a distant (via internet) cousin and he sent to another. (we, as in the researching group of us had not to post it as yet) next thing know I find it posted on the internet with many of our inaccuracies which we were still trying to prove/disprove. Even one of my deceased aunt's was found to be living at the ripe old age of 92 and I got to meet her and love her to death. I was hurt because the sourcing made it obvious that it was my data and two things happened. The Good thing, I found my dear sweet 92 yr old via that posting - The Bad thing. It is still out there and none of us want to touch it. I also learned not to give the new cousins we are so excited to find too much information. Give them a little and see if they have a little to share back. (BE CAUTIOUS) They may not be related at all, sorry to say there are lots of dishonest people out there. I have always been a trusting and some call me naive but when it comes to my genealogy I say be very careful - not to mention if you give them everything you have, some take your informaiton, add it to theirs and forget to share which that's is what life is all about. I am off my soap now and want to tell you all how much I appreciate all the information shared by cousins known, unknown, and the fact is we are all related somewhere down the line because after the flood there was only one family to start creating all of us. Love to all my cousins out there in cyberspace.

Good for you, Jan. I just began my family research last fall and am having lots of fun doing it. I am finding very little has been done in my family and most of my direct cousins aren't interested. I have, however, found a couple of third cousins who have put some data out there and I have emailed, called, and otherwise shared information with them and been blessed to find them! I encourage people to put some kind of information out there for us newbies so we have a starting point. Even if it's just an email address for those of us looking for long lost family. I don't have the money to spend on ordering death certificates and documentation research but have had success through my library and kind people on the net who have given me clues. My greatest source of information so far has been my ancestor's civil war pension records. For $37 I got death and birth records, mother's maiden name, family, service, physical description, occupation etc. It gave the best "bang for the buck". Meanwhile thanks for everyone sharing and, even if you are not related to me, it's fun to read about your discoveries and enthusiasm!

You're right Rich...the old DAR records are filled with errors, mainly Bible records, which many used to qualify. They thought a family Bible record was 100% accurate. The problem was, most people couldn't spell & Bible's were hit & miss with family members, and dates. I didn't qualify for the DAR with a Bible record. I qualified with military records (birth certificates, death certificates). I had 5 ancestors in the Revolution. I had most of my genealogy before computers, and I can document all of it. I've been looking at genealogy sites on computer since 1992. I also haven't put my family histories on-line because some people take it & run, and never acknowledge the source. Anyway, once in awhile I'll send someone some family info., and if they don't believe me, it's up to them to research it. I have a lot of old photos (not on Internet). I also have original court records, written on hand-made paper with quill & ink from Kentucky, 1802-1824....none of them are on Internet. I think I lucked out when I started researching families.

I just hate it when people take info from the Internet & claim it as fact. That isn't the way I approach genealogy. I've seen some Gedcoms that are ludicrous.....I had one guy send me his (we have the same family), I printed it off (250 pages), and couldn't find my ancestor......

Hello No one should take ANY information from ANY internet source for granted. Find the record in the original source to be sure. Even the veritable DAR data has errors, especially the earlier material. People send me tons of Boyd data for the web site and I could never check out all this data. I post it on the site to help people out and perhaps steer them in the right direction -- not to do their research for them.

You are absolutely right about using the internet as official records but one can surely find some directions to look for the “real thing.” Those long addresses did not translate well. To simplify, go to < http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/> then type in your Surname and Given Name. I think you will find several submitters with connections to the DUNLAP family you might want to reach for sources. Thanks for sharing, Jan. I would surely like to know more about the DUNLAP/DUNLOP line as well as the WORKS and BOYDs. Do you have some sources to recommend? Best wishes, Linda Smith

Thank you Jan for the wise words . I find many many things on thr internet not correct. I love to check out the ged coms on Roots web but find many mistakes but once wrong information is printed it seems to be written in stone and never corrected. .So beware of all we think we have found Prove it .Thankd again Jan. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jan Curtis" <jcurtis@redrock.net> To: <CLANBOYD-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, March 09, 2004 10:58 PM Subject: Re: [ClanBoyd] Re: DUNLOP/DUNLAP > Linda - my maiden name is Dunlap.

Linda - my maiden name is Dunlap. I have your Mary in my records (m. Samuel Work). I've been a certified genealogist for 20 yrs, a member of the DAR, Colonial Dames, Daughters of the Republic of Texas, etc. I only mention this to let you know I have done personal research for over 30 yrs. There are many records on Internet that are incorrect. Soooo, you might like to note the following (for your record): The Parish Records in Kilmarnock show that SAMUEL DUNLOP was the son of JOHN DUNLOP. JOHN married JEAN GEBBY on 27 Oct. 1694. Their children were: John Dunlop, Chr. 22 Jan. 1699 in Kilmarnock. Hugh Dunlop, Chr 20 July 1701, Kilmarnock SAMUEL DUNLOP, Chr. 8 June 1704, Kilmarnock.....this is the Samuel in PA. He was not born in Ireland. It kind of seems you're not really interested in the Dunlops, and that's ok. I have many families on the back-burner of interest. In fact, I don't think Janet Boyd was the mother of William. I have Samuel's Will in PA, and son Adam got the lion's share. I imagine you have a lot on the Work family. I'll look at your site.

Is there something missing in the first link? I got the message that the data base does not exist. Also, please note the Carroll Co. Ohio Historical Society does NOT maintain the old wills, the Carroll Co. Genealogical Society does. Unlike many other states and/or counties, Carroll & Tuscarawas Counties have separate organizations. The Historical Society in each county handles the preservation of historical locations in this area, while the Genealogical Societies handle the preservation of documentation and old records. If you all ever get a chance come for a visit.
