Just joined your group and I like what I see in the welcome message.
Me, I am heavy into surnames and this could be a welcome respite.
As I was reading the welcome message, I was thinking of what my Dad
told me, long ago, when I asked him what our ethnic background was.
He rattled it off, very quickly, so as not to miss one,
"SCOTCH-IRISH, ENGLISH, DUTCH, WELSH, GERMAN. From my Mom, I got ENGLISH &
PORTUGUESE. After I began to do genealogy, I was very proud to tell my Dad
that I had also added FRENCH.
Now, when he gave me the information that catapulted me into
collecting family tree data, he also told me that his father was born in
Albemarle County, Virginia, near Boyd's Tavern. As Virginia is full of
SCOTCH-IRISH, I am making a leap into thinking I might be able to find out
more about this place.
Boyd's Tavern, Albemarle County, Virginia.
Exactly where was it?
Was it a meeting house in 1700's & 1800's?
Was it also a hotel-type establishment?
When was it established?
Is there any old or new written data on this place?
Is it possible there might be a photo or a drawing of it?
Does it still exist?
Did National Geographic ever do a spread on it? <G>
Would like to add some or all of the answers to my data-base for
more color than just names, dates & places.
Am forwarding a copy of these questions in hopes that I can come up
with some answers. All the mailing lists that receive a copy of this message
may want the answer to these questions, as all those surnames are linked, in
my records, to that location.
