EDITION 8
OF THE CATALOG OF ALEXANDER BOYD
We've published Edition 8 of the Catalog
of Alexander Boyd. It is special because
it is the first time we've published other than for Boyd Reunions. This is for those five who made $250
contributions to
the Boyd Family Foundation, we
thank you. Your copy of your line from the
children of Alexander is at the printer and on it's
way. Your gift to the Boyd Family
Foundation will continue to support printing the Catalog and the charts. Just the paper for the charts in 2005 will cost
about $150!
This is also an exciting time for data
entry, if that is possible. We've added 50 Boyd relatives since
Thanksgiving. Sandra Walker gave us 22
pages of the Hawkins line, adding 23 Boyd relatives we did not have. Ruby Brown has a bible with family records
and sent us material that added 17 Boyd relatives. Margaret Thomas sent material that added
9 Boyd
relatives, and so it continues. The amount
of data entered is much larger as we also enter all information we get about
spouses.
You may recall Boyd Miller of
of Alexander when we do the
book form reports (nephews, too). Mary

Edwina Taylor Goddard introduction
Edwina’s introduction is included as
background and to honor her monumental
work.
She compiled the data and her husband, Win, typed it into a word processor.
Without spell check, date check or other
computer support the typographical error rate
I calculate of Edwina and Win’s work is
less than a tenth of a percent. It is amazing.
The symbols and format used by Edwina are
not used in this report. The
numbering
system Edwina used is not used in these printouts.
