Rick did send me a picture of himself and I thought he looked alot like my brother Douglas Greer. Funny isn't it. The lady standing with Matthew is Sarah Ann Boyd b. 1847. Sitting from left to right is Eliza Boyd b. 1841, Joseph Boyd b. 1846 and Isabella Boyd b.1854. Seated on the bottom is Maggie Boyd b. 1860. The woman who posted the picture is a Christie. Sarah Ann Boyd married William John Christie and there are some pictures of them and their family on the site too. The site is: http://www.flickr.com/photos/gowks_nest . Did you send the picture to Rick & Margaret or did you want me to.
