Please do remember that genetic genealogy requires *careful* examination of the most primary records, just as old fashioned genealogy does. <BR><BR>Our DNA may not lie, but the paper trail can go awry. In order to make the most accurate connections to the past and not just to each other, we must adhere to the basic principles of genealogy. Information found on the Internet is not a primary source and should be verified. Humans make mistakes and also leaps of faith. <BR><BR>Let's not compound the errors, but rather delve deep and find the facts.<BR><BR>Yours Aye,<BR><BR>Lauren<BR>Boyd DNA List Admin<BR>Boyd List Admin<BR>Clan-Boyd List Admin<BR>-----Forwarded Message-----<BR>>From: Mike Boyd <mikejboyd@bigpond.com><BR>>Sent: Nov 28, 2007 11:49 PM<BR>>To: Justin Boyd <justinboyd@cox.net>, BOYD@rootsweb.com<BR>>Subject: Re: [BOYD] FW: David BOYD- possible descendants?

The event begins at 10am and goes til 6pm. It is one of my favorites. It is only a one day event. The venue is lovely. Highland Park is in the Santa Cruz Mountains of California, just miles up the road from the Pacific Ocean and among the redwoods.<BR><BR>This year, Clan Cian and the Irish are being honored. Come out and help us celebrate! Join us in the clan march, spend time at the tent meeting your clanfolk and learning about Boyd history. I have managed to fit a considerable amount of stuff in the Saturn, but not nearly what the truck held! However, there will be Boyd books and other reference materials as well as photos of Boyd castles, tee shirts and.... our new sterling silver cap badges! We commissioned them exclusively for House of Boyd and they are not available through any vendor or elsewhere. They are quite nice, even if I do say so myself!<BR><BR>More information and directions will be found here:<BR>http://www.lochlomondceltic.org/games.htm<BR><BR>Also-- Seamus O'More of Clan Cian and I are the people responsible to put on the Official Ceilidh for this event. Do plan on joining us after the games on the property next door. Jim Boyd's famous Mulligan Stew is featured each year, among other savory items. <BR><BR>Come on out and have some fun! This is the last event for Northern California this year... except the Kirkin' o' the Tartan in Sacramento.<BR><BR>See you at the games!<BR><BR>Yours Aye,<BR><BR>Lauren<BR>President<BR>House of Boyd Society, Inc.<BR>http://www.clanboyd.org<BR>president@clanboyd.org<BR><BR>Important Note:<BR>The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
