No newsletter for quite a while, but I think less than 2 years. When I didn't send any dues, received a notice I was considered a life member. (May have looked at my age and thought, what the heck? won't last much longer anyway.) My snail mail address is PO Box 745, Rochester, WA 98579-0745, oh yes, name that goes on letter is Madora Boyd. Still have no clues on my last Boyd ancestor: Nancy Boyd, married 1816 to John Crawford Laughlin in Tuscarawas Co, OH. When my grgrandfather (from that marriage) decided to leave El Paso Co, Colorado, he divided his ranch between Alexander Boyd and John Laughlin. Could it be Alexander Boyd was a nephew or cousin?
