Dear List members This is to advise that I will be leaving Australia on Tuesday 19 May 2020, (viruses permitting) to go to Michigan, USA and several other locations for several week. On Monday 25 May 2020, I will fly to Cincinnati, Ohio to go to their Libraries in both Ohio and Northern Kentucky. Because in the last 6 weeks I have had problems with my PC, so I have yet to write to several friends in Cincinnati to see if it is possible to hold a talk for Boyd, and Boyd relations between Tuesday 26 May 2020 and Thursday 28 May 2020. I assume that Wednesday evening (27 May 2020) might be the best time in this period. But as they no free parting at the main Cincinnati Library on vine Street, it maybe better to see if the Covington Library across the river in Northern Kentucky in Kenton County, may not be a better venue as, I know ifs car park is free and there are venues nearby that we could eat at when the Library closes. Hopefully, when they provide me with details and times, I can advise you on the – new Boyd Facebook page is called “Clan Boyd Family.” And the URL for the Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/2129188920708821/ And when Rootsbweb.com announced in January that they will close down all the sites, Colin Brooks (Email [email protected]) [ a non HBS member] started up a new Boyd group at CLANBOYD-HOB.groups.io which she has no control over. So that those of you that are in Southern Ohio, Northern Kentucky or Eastern Indiana can come along, to find out what time of year to go to the UK; what planning your need to take you trip to find your Boyd family and spouse families (and to enjoy the sites as well), and to talk you about your Boyd tree and to see if we can make any fits to known Boyd families. And hopefully those attending can also advise if there are any Highland Games in their area, so that other Boyds can be advised about them and to attend to help expand their knowledge of Scottish Culture, etc. And in future years, it may be possible to have a clan Boyd tent at those Games. I look forward to seeing you in Cincinnati/Covington in late May 2020, if you can attend this. Mike Boyd Clan Boyd Society, International Brisbane, Aust ([email protected])
