Rich,

I stumbled across your website not knowing it existed.  I trace down from Wesley Gilbert Boyd from New Kensington, PA.  I'm the grandson of one of his children and was wondering if we could get a copy of your newsletter?  We were familiar with some of our roots going back to Vermont in the 1800's as you have listed but really have had no contact with that side of the family for probably 2 generations.  Can you forward a copy of your newsletter to:

Thanks for your time and efforts.

Jasper Elam Boyd

And I descend from John Boyd and Margaret Long m. April 11, 1731 in Boston, MA like this:

John Boyd

I guess we would be 8th or 9th cousins.

If you haven't seen the first part of our lineage it begins here on a different site:

Key down page to part 2.

Very glad to hear from you. I hope you will share what information and pictures
you have of your Boyd family. Everything I have is at you disposal. Do you have
a photo of Wesley Gilbert Boyd?

My grandfather was Wesley Gilbert Boyd Jr (passed in Oct of 1987), my father is Stephen Wesley Boyd and I'm Stephen Wesley Boyd Jr.  I have a brother Christopher Michael Boyd.  It's very interesting looking back at the family tree like this.  I actually don't have any photos of my grandparents sad to say.  My aunt has my grandparents old photo albums so I have virtually nothing.  We currently all live around the suburbs of Pittsburgh PA.  Thanks for the mailing.  I'll be sure to share it with my relatives.  Take care.
