Looking for ANY Boyd Family in area of christian county and hopkinsville kentucky

Hi Nicole

Can you post a link of a public profile in your tree? The oldest Boyd would you have. That way I can see if there's any path between that profile and me, which might offer a clue.

See "how to tag a profile" here if you're not sure how to do this:

You called! But I need the profile Boyd - there are 55 million profiles in Geni. :)

im not sure if that right....did that do it

gilbert boyd this gentleman is the oldest in my tree

You are great! You mastered tagging. OK now let me take a look.

I descend from the fun Lord Boyd here:

Robert Boyd, 1st Lord Boyd of Kilmarnock

So my mission would be to connect your Gilbert with his enjoyable great ? grandfather ... if he is.

BTW my Howton's are from Hopkinville, KY. Never thought there might be a Boyd side - my Boyds go to Cunningham in Scotland and emigrated to Virginia.

wow!!! You can do that!!! That would be great if you could do that!!! Well from what information i have found, it has been very limited. It would be amazing if we had some form of lineage between you and I. We are having a family reunion this year in new jersey and I am in charge of gathering all the information concerning the Boyd Family. So i am desperate for information concerning my family.

There are a couple of soldier Boyds - thought they could be brothers of your Gilbert as its the same age range / geography. I attached records to his profile. Study them, perhaps, and think about whether they are clues or not, because we're trying to take it back a generation on census reports, and often sibling names can lead the way.

Geni is amazing. It's really frustrating to try and connect to the big tree -- it took me months -- but once I did, I could go back to mythological times. Blew me away.

You know where your hard part is. But Hopkinville KY is *also* a big clue because it's only 30,000 now and it was tiny in origin. So read up on the history of it; maybe they have some genealogical societies etc. It's been a while since I did that reading but KY archives do a really good job.

I started with Wikipedia:

wow thank you so much...some info i had and other info i didnot. I will look into it some more and see what I can find. thank you again
