Hello Ross, My grandfather was Leeland Boyd, my great grandfather was Zepho Boyd, and my great great grandfather was Ross Boyd. Ross was born in Georgia (1860), Zepho was born in Alabama (1891), and Leeland Boyd born possibly in Texas (1914). Intersting don't you think! :) Zoanne Boyd Brace --- Ross Boyd <rossb@paradise.net.nz> wrote: > Hullo Natalie... > > I have just moved to the village of Waipu in > northern New Zealand, settled > during the 1870's by a break away group from the > Church of Scotland led by > the Rev.

Hi Zoanne Seems like the practice of recycling family christian names died out quite a time back, and a whole new era of new and interesting original names became the norm. My name was picked by my parents so that the kids at school couldn't shorten it, so instead they made it longer. All the best now... R J Boyd NZ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Z.
