Linds and I went to Salado with Ross and Stephanie. We found this quiant Scottish/Irish gift shop. We were able to track Lindsey's family (Callon side, to the Callaghan's of Ireland), and the "Trusty Boyd" clan of Scotland. Duncan Boyd was executed for supporting independence in 1306 and Sir Robert Boyd was a commander for Robert the Bruce (think Braveheart) after the death of WIlliam Wallace. For his service and valour during battle he was awarded lands, including Kilmarnock.
I had done some geneaology studies a few years ago, and decided to adopt these Boyd's as my forefathers. If you ever look into your anscestory, I recommend finding the "coolest" historic figures that share your last name, and claim them to your line.
