Lloyd Family Research Center

Welcome to the Lloyd Family Research Center. This site is dedicated to preserving the history & genealogy of the Lloyd and Loyd surname.

According to my research, the Lloyd surname is Welsh "Llwyd" meaning gray. The Lloyd surname also has roots in Ireland and England.

This site will be growing as I add information from over twenty years of research and from contributions of other family members

My name is Charlie Vines, the site administrator for this site. I began my research on the Lloyd family because my wife's mother was a Lloyd (Laura Belle (Lloyd) Vaden. I have been researching our family history for over twenty-five years. While researching our family, I began discovering other Lloyd & Loyd families that others may research in the future, so I expanding the scope of this project. While looking for a new home of my research, I came across GenealogyVillage.com who is associated with AccessGenealogy.com (a site that I am familiar with and with whom I have a lot of respect. So I am in the process of moving my research to Genealogy Village.

My other research sites:

Shoemaker Family Research Center - my mother maiden name

Vaden Family Research Center - my wife's maiden name

Vines Family Research Center - obviously my surname.
