This morning I asked the Antrim list about an location I found that George Boyd of Compass, PA was born in "Vister" County Antrim. And he has sent back this reply "Mike, This is a fake research site. It is a Salt Lake City mass publisher of online unproven lines that creates links for web capture. Thereby, the uneducated researcher is drawn to pay them to "find" the sources for their "work". It's all garbage or as we like to say- fake news. Genealogy crap like what you get at Ancestry.com. "Vister" is obviously misspelling "Ulster" in scanning technology. The same George Boyd has 5 different placements and families in this very website. By the way- "V" is not a popular letter to start words in Ulster. Only 3 townlands use a V and nothing close to the above name.

So question 1. Was my assumption right “Vister” is an townland? 2) The geography on this website is not very good – so could “Vister” be a townland in another Irish County? 3) Or could “Vister” be a house name? I was told by the author Gary Boyd Roberts in 2016 at Boston, MA that this George Boyd’s family came form Ballymoney, but the person whom told him di not have any evidence to this fact. Thank you for your assistance Mike Boyd Brisbane, Aust. _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ Email preferences: http://bit.ly/rootswebpref Unsubscribe https://lists.rootsweb.com/postorius/lists/[email protected] Privacy Statement: https://ancstry.me/2JWBOdY Terms and Conditions: https://ancstry.me/2HDBym9 Rootsweb Blog: http://rootsweb.blog RootsWeb is funded and supported by Ancestry.com and our loyal RootsWeb community
