Do your Boyd's have a connection to the last name Bohy from Belgium.A lot of the Boyd's in America were Bohy's from Belgium first, they changed their names to be more American but yet others kept Bohy also.Two Bohy's came to America in the 1890's and worked as coal miners in Oklahoma, Arkansas and Texas. The united states records show a lot of Boyd's and Bohy's to be from France, this is actually not true. They put France because the people spoke French and they didn't verify information when taking the census's through the early years.If you have Boyd's who migrated to Belgium where did they come from?The whole Boyd/Bohy family search is crazy because of incorrect record taking.you can contact me at
