The House of Boyd Society was founded at the Stone Mountain Highland Games in Georgia, USA, on October 15, 1988. It was incorporated as a non-profit corporation in 1999 in the State of Delaware. The 'Confido' emblem, which is part of the Boyd family coat-of-arms, is designated as the official seal of the society.

The Society assists members with their genealogical research of the Boyd family and maintains a genealogical database of the Boyd family lines of its members. It promotes and sponsors state, regional, national and international gatherings of the Boyd family. It promotes and perpetuates Scottish heritage, customs and traditions. Membership is open to those researching Boyd genealogy and those interested in Scottish heritage.

Mike Boyd, Clan Historian to Visit the USA
for research tour and to connect with Boyds 

May 24 - July 3, 2013

Mike's Itinerary to be arranged.  He arrives in the USA in time to attend the Greenville, South Carolina Games 
and House of Boyd Annual General Meeting.  Mike has also been invited to lecture at the Glasgow, Kentucky games May 31- June 1st.  Plans are in the works to get Mike to the Chicago, Illinois games before heading to Pennsylvania for the Celtic Fling.  Mike will head to San Diego to meet with the Historian for the Boyds of Boydton, Virginia before heading to Los Angeles to fly home to Australia on July 3rd.

If you live in any of these areas, please plan to meet with Mike while he is in the USA.  He will not be returning in 2014 and may never be in your area again!  Mike is interested to hear from anyone who would like to host a mini-meeting of Boyds in your area to discuss the History of the Boyds and to collect your Boyd Genealogy as well as provide tips to those who may be just starting out, or may be stuck at a brick wall... and all points in between.  His level of knowledge is amazing!
