G'Day Jan Your assumptions are well reasoned, but the info I have set out is 'stand alone' i.e. I have no further genealogy details in any direction. I am trying to find a connection with my earliest John Boyd who was born somewhere in Scotland about 1693, but went to live in the Borders area around Gordon. I have most of the details from this forbear, down to the present day. I will keep your jigsaw piece on the board for later use if required. Thanks Jan, Cheerio for now, Kind regards Brian Boyd Melbourne Australia. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jan Curtis" <jcurtis@redrock.net> To: <CLANBOYD-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, May 15, 2004 12:12 PM Subject: Re: [ClanBoyd] Early Boyds in Scotland. - 1600s > Brian - > > Not yet, but I have Janet Boyd (chr.1704) daughter of Thomas Boyd & Agnes > Lammie (m. 1690).
