I found one lead to data on my Great- Grandmother: Mary Boyd, b:ca 28 Oct 1850, Paisley, Renfrew, Scotland which was in a film held by the LDS (Morman Church), Utah. However, it is a "Restricted Film" and I CAN NOT obtain any information from them. Not even the name of the person or family who submitted the data. Is this another "dead end.??" or where might I look for further, earlier information on her background? Any assistance is welcomed. Thank you and best of luck researching and hope all have a healthy, happy New Year.
