    3. Thank you for the directions! I am going to order a larger scale ordinance map for that area. Earlier I had been looking around in Derry for my Burnsides but since some of the children say they were born in Down I moved farther south in Antrim. I am still on the Derry list - maybe I'll post again. Hope the Boyd info I sent matches one on your list - it looked promising to me. I looked at an obit site yesterday for Boyds in SW PA. Guess I will wait until I get there to get any copy you many want - there were a lot!
