Text	Hi Tom I have about 1300 names in my Family Tree Maker computer file. A great amount of these would be decendents of Austin Quay Boyd. I saw my brother M (Mack) Nolan Boyd used as a source on your web page. Just above the pictures of of my grandparents. I have copies of those pictures also. Nolan was a great person and worked thousands of hours on Boyd genealogy but never used a computer. I started putting his work from his papers into Family Tree Maker around 1990. In his last years he wrote a great book about our Boyd decendents and his life that was distributed to our family members. In that book he has 10 pages of material about Boyd geneology. Austin Quay and Sallie Wilson are buried in the Eureka Texas cemetery plus many of their children and grandchildren and inlaws. Sallie's mother was visiting Eureka in 1888, died and was buried in that cemetery. Her father went back home to Montocello Ark. He died in 1900 and also was buried in the Eureka cemetery. It can be googled but not much info is there on line. Its a nice well cared cemetery and is where my wife and I will be buried. They moved to Eureka Texas (where I was raised) when my grandmother was pregnant with him (Austin McQuiston (Mack) b. 1886), AQ and Sallie had 11 children - I knew all of them except the two who died before my time. Seven of them lived off the land along our country road near Eureka. Four of my aunts had no children. My Uncle John and wife Bertha had 7 children (300 yds from our door) and my parents had 6 children - I am the youngest.. Eleven Boyd cousins within two miles or so were in uniform during WWII. One of my brothers b. 1923 was not accepted because of a sports injury. On www.austinboyd.com you can get information about my next older brother's oldest son. He has authored three books in the area of religious fiction. What information do you want and what way do you want it. My computer skills are very moderate but occupies a lot of my time. My wife and I are retired school teachers. She is from New Jersey and of course I am a Texan. We chose Florida for retirement (since 2000). Wallis
