My names is Larry Smith Jr and David Boyd, buried in Decatur Il was my Great Grandfather (Nov 4 1896 - January 23 1971)He was married to Gertrude Redburn.His daughter, Vertis Lorraine Boyd was my grandmother (dad side) who died at the age of 21 and when my father was 4 months old, of an ear infection.I was up in Il, last week and spoke to my great aunt, Sharon Boyd, who was David's youngest daughter (I believe).I also visit he grave. This side of the family has been a total mystery to me and now I am looking for any information on my Boyd side of the family.My aunt Sharon states that this side of the Boyd's were related to Belle Boyd and that David was in World War 1, and that he named my grandmother after some of the battles that David fought in.Aunt Sharon also told me that David was wounded during World War 1 and was seriously injuried.Aunt Sharon states that David's parents were named Charles and Sarah.Can you tell me if any of this information is true and/or you related to the same Dores David Boyd?Thank You!
