For what I could see it is pretty much the same as Boyd’s father, mainly British ancestry (obviously predominantly English) with a little bit of German, with deep lines in the American South. I clarify that I did not look at the tree extensively.
We see zero evidence for his German and French roots in the material you posted. Does he have those on the maternal line (the one you didn’t show)?
I don’t know about French, but his ancestor Michael Risner (1790-1864) was of German descent. The last name was originally Riesener.
