It would be very helpful to identify the YDNA haplogroups of these lines. The name "Francis" appears in our Boyd line in 1850. From our "R" YDNA haplogroup line, branches the Stewarts, Clan Campbell and Clan McLaren. Clearly our line descends from Scotland. There appears to be an imposter Boyd haplogroup with origins in Czechia that claims to descend from the Noble Kilmarnock Boyds. Could it be the French connection that you have introduced? Distinguishing these haplogroups would prove to be extremely useful. Haplogroups don't lie, make up family history or usurp clans.
Well done to Jonathan and Adrian. cheers
