SUBJECT: Genealogy-- Gaylord and Boyd Families
DATE:
November 18, 1981
Enclosed is a copy of my latest effort for posterity: a brief
genealogical study of our Gaylord and Boyd families (copies enclosed for
descendants of particular family). It is a study resulting from love,
patience, determination, and many long hours. One of Michael's
classroom assignment to prepare a family tree served as the incentive to
complete what I had planned to do much later (I retired on July
1,1981) You have above the addresses of representative families.
you can secure the addresses of any of Aunt Viola's children send them
to me, as I would like for them to have a copy. If you have additional
information you wish to share with please do so.
Love,
Virginia G. Ayscue
Dennis Boyd
