Born in Pennsylvania in 1918 John William boyd also known as jack Boyd. Married my grandma Ruth Geraldine Schwartzman (not sure if 2 N's) Searching now what year she was born. Would have to say right about the same as grandpa jack. Lived in Miami Florida most their lives. Had 8 children. Tracey, Darryl, Bruce, Blair, Scott, Vaughn, Paige and Kathleen.

Family is mainly pipefitters down south here in Florida.

God I don't know much else.

No love but thank you so much for helping!! John William boyd also known as jack Boyd. His father was jackal Boyd I just found out.

Just a lot of researching I guess..

I recommend joining Family Search (it's free). You can do a lot of searching there. A common name like John Boyd has too many hits so you need to find a way to limit it. Like knowing his father's name will help.  Good luck!

Answer 3

My maiden name is Boyd. My father and my grandfather are both John William Boyd (Sr and II.)  What year was the John William Boyd for whom you're looking born?
