Hi everyone..

Im new to this, and was wondering if anyone out there has researched the Boyd family in Dundee?

I have set up a family tree on My heritage, and would email somebody a link to have nosey if they think they can get me further back.

There was a tale from my grandad that one of the Boyds from his side helped Bonnie Prince Charlie on a boat back to Ireland.. and we all thought it was just a tale, but, I found this webisite:

and it might just be true !

Any help would be greatly appreciated
