Hi List! Thanks to all of you for answering with ideas....I did send to the County Clerk in St. Albans. This was 2-3 weeks ago, maybe I'm just too anxious I didn't send money but a SASE so they could let me know how much they charged or if they even had these records. The time period is 1844, Frederick Boyd.... Have no other family names, just his birthdate in Feb., written in family Bible. It would be a plus, just to find some Boyd's in that county in that time period. Thanks, Janis in Wy.___________________________________________________________ Get more from your time online.
