Another Week of Amazing Discoveries!!

This past weekend a cousin came to visit.  She brought a large suitcase filled with family treasures to pour over!  And that we did!  We spent over 20 hours reviewing, scanning, problem solving and trying to put the pieces of our Boyd family history together!  Oh how we wished that "grandma" was alive to ask!

I was absolutely in awe of the items she shared on disc (because they were too large or fragile to transport) and all of the amazing new images we studied.  There were some we knew right away, a few we were able to deduce and still many more that we will be researching and trying to identify.

Let me share a few of these things here in hopes that someone might stumble upon them and help us to sort things out.

An image we knew. . . 

John "the second" is pretty easy to pick out in most photos, but it was sure nice that someone took the time to add the information to this photo of him!

An image we think we know after studying it for quite awhile and comparing with other family records we have. . .

We believe this to be younger RC and Sophia (Thornburg) Boyd with her sister and sons.  The inscription on the back says that this is "Aunt Tiney" and her boys.  If we are right, she is Estina 'Tina' (Thornburg) Wilkinson and these are her two oldest sons, Lloyd and Guy.  Would love some verification of this!!

And then there's this great 4 generation photo. . .

We have absolutely no idea who they are!  They are dressed in such lovely attire.  Grandma looks like she would have stories to tell.  

Thanks to cousin Jane for making the trip and bringing these treasures to share with the clan.  Over the next few weeks, I'll work on processing, labeling and posting some of these great photos here in hopes that YOU might be able to help us solve the many photo mysteries in our Boyd treasure chest!
