I am sure you'll enjoy this, although I am also sure my children would label it "Ma's Disease". From the Horton List. Janet Hunter Subj: Grandma Date: 99-03-19 01:26:23 EST From: 4millers@sprintmail.com (Tom&Carol Miller) Reply-to: 4millers@sprintmail.com To: HORTON-L@rootsweb.com GRANDMA'S DISEASE Author unknown courtesy Connie Washburn There's been a change in Grandma, we've noticed her of late. She always reading history or jotting down some date. She's tracking back the family, we'll all have pedigrees. Oh, Grandma's got a hobby - she's climbing the FAMILY TREE. Poor Grandpa does the cooking, and now, or so he states, That worst of all, he has to wash the cups and dinner plates. Grandma can't be bothered, she busy as a bee, Compiling genealogy for the FAMILY TREE. She has no time to babysit, the curtains are a fright, No buttons left on Grandpa's shirt, the flower bed's a sight. She's given up her club work and the soaps on TV, the only thing she does nowadays is climb the FAMILY TREE. She goes down to the courthouse and studies ancient lore, We know more about our forebears than we ever knew before. The books are old and dusty, they make poor Grandma sneeze, A minor irritation when you're climbing the FAMILY TREE. The mail is all for Grandma, it comes from near and far, Last week she got the proof she needs to join the D.A.R. A monumental project all do agree, All from climbing up the FAMILY TREE. Now some folks came from Scotland, some from Galway Bay, Some were French as pastry, some German all the way. Some went West to stake there claims, some stayed there by the sea. Grandma hopes to find them all, as she climbs the FAMILY TREE. She wanders through the graveyard in search of date and name, The rich, the poor, the in-between, all sleeping there the same. She pauses now and then to rest, fanned by a gentle breeze, That blows above the Fathers of all our FAMILY TREES. There are pioneers and patriots, mixed in our kith and kin, Who blazed the paths of wilderness and fought through thick and thin. But none more staunch than Grandma, who eyes light up with glee, Each time she finds a missing branch for the FAMILY TREE. Their skills were wide and varied, from carpenter to cook, And one, alas, the records show, was hopelessly a crook. Blacksmith, weaver, farmer, judge - some tutored for a fee. Once lost in time, now all recorded on the FAMILIY TREE. To some it's just a hobby, to Grandma it's much more, She learns the joys and heartaches of those that went before. They loved, they lost, they laughed, they wept - and now, for you and me, They live again in spirit, around the FAMILY TREE. At last she's nearly finished and we are each exposed, Life will be the same again, this we all supposed. Grandma will cook and sew, serve cookies with our tea. We'll all be fat, just as before the wretched FAMILY TREE. Sad to relate, the preacher called and visited for a spell. We talked about the Gospel, and other things as well. The heathen folk, the poor and then - twas fate, it had to be, Somehow the conversation turned to Grandma and the FAMILY TREE. He never knew his Grandpa, his mother's name was..... Clark? He and Grandma talked and talked, outside it grew dark. We'd hoped our fears were groundless, but just like some disease, Grandma's become an addict - she's hooked on FAMILY TREES. Our souls are filled with sorrow, our hearts sad with dismay. Our ears could scarce believe the words we heard our Grandma say, "It sure is a lucky thing that you have come to me, I know exactly how it's done, I'll climb your FAMILY TREE.

For a while now I've been going with the assumption that Elisha Bird, b abt 1685, married Catherine Ringo 1716, was the son of Andrew Bird of Newtown, Long Island, NY, simply because I've seen it from so many researchers. Does anyone have any proof of this? Without starting a war, it seems plausable that he was not Andrew's son. My reasons: Elisha did not have a son, grandson (or any other descendant) named Andrew. Andrew's other children - Andrew Jr, Thomas,Sarah, Mary and George - all named a son Andrew, and there was at least one Andrew in all the following generations. Also, Andrew Jr. and Thomas named other sons for their brothers - they each had a Thomas and a George, but no Elisha. None of Elisha's sons or grandsons are Thomas or George. Andrew Sr. and his sons lived in Somerset Co and were members of the Raritan Dutch Church; Elisha lived in Hanover Twp, Morris Co, and had two of his children baptised in the New York Dutch Church, none in Raritan. There were other Bird families in colonial New Jersey, most notably the family (Joseph and Jeremiah Bird, both born abt 1680) that lived in the Elizabethtown area; so just because Elisha lived in NJ at the time isn't enough to claim he's Andrew's son. In a post last year, Bill DeCoursey mentioned a James Bird living in Newtown at the same time as Andrew. Perhaps he is Elisha's father. Can anyone clear this up for me?

Hi list, The name "Byrd" has been associated with the Melungeons. Some of you might be interested in the below genealogy workshop. If you have any questions, please write me personally and not on this list. Thanks! Lisa Recent books and documentaries on Appalachia's mysterious Melungeons have led many people to search for their Melungeon roots. A genealogy workshop at Berea College may provide help for those who are seeking information about their families and possible Melungeon connections. "Melungeon Roots: A Family Heritage Workshop" will be held on the Berea College campus on Saturday, June 26. This event will feature sessions on beginning, intermediate, and Internet genealogy, as well as specific sessions to explore Native American and African-American connections. There will also be chat sessions for various family groups, a showing of a documentary film about the Melungeons, and a panel discussion featuring Brent Kennedy, Manuel Mira, and others.. The Melungeons are a multi-racial and multi-ethnic people who were first documented in the Appalachian mountains at the end of the 18th century. Since that time, they have become a part of Appalachian folklore - "sons and daughters of the legend." Prior to the Civil War, some were classified as "free persons of color." More recently, they have been identified by anthropologists and sociologists as "tri-racial isolates" - an amalgam of European, Native American, and African-American ancestry. They faced discrimination, both legal and social, and tended to settle in isolated communities such as Newman's Ridge in Hancock County, Tennessee, or Stone Mountain, Virginia. Over the years, Melungeons kept to themselves -- or moved to other areas where their heritage was not suspect. Oral history among Melungeon families was often not shared with succeeding generations. "Melungeon" had become an epithet, even if no one knew where the word originated. Jean Patterson Bible wrote in 1975 that generations of intermarriage has resulted in near racial dissolution: "They'll be gone in a generation or two, except for an occasional dark-complected [sic] child as a reminder of the past." Instead, many Melungeon descendants are coming to recognize and embrace the diverse heritage that is theirs. They've been encouraged and inspired by Dr. N. Brent Kennedy, author of the 1994 book The Melungeons: The Resurrection of A Proud People; An Untold Story of Ethnic Cleansing in America. Kennedy, in researching his own family background, concludes that the Melungeons were descended from groups of Spaniards, Portuguese, Turks, Berbers, Moors, Jews, and others who arrived on these shores between the arrival of Columbus and the establishment of Jamestown. Generations of intermarriage with Europeans, Native Americans, and African-Americans resulted in the people now known as Melungeons. Participants may pre-register before June 1, for "Melungeon Roots: A Family Heritage Workshop" by sending a check or money order to: Melungeon Roots, P.O. Box 4042, Wise, VA 24293. Admission to the event is $5 for each pre-registered participant (before June 1), and $10 for those who register after June 1 and for on-site registrants. On-site registration begins Friday, June 25, at 7:00 pm at the Alumni Building on the Berea campus. The Melungeon Heritage Association, Inc. will hold a mixer on Friday night at the Alumni Building from 7 to 9 pm. Workshops will begin on Saturday morning at 9:00 am at Phelps-Stokes Hall, with welcoming remarks by Audie Kennedy, president of the Melungeon Heritage Association, Inc., and Gordon McKinney of the Berea College Appalachian Center. Workshops will be held in the Frost Building and Phelps Stokes chapel. Chat groups will be running all day at various locations on campus. Throughout the day, "Melungeon Roots" will feature "how-to" genealogy sessions as well as sessions on Native American, African-American, and Portuguese-American genealogy. A panel discussion with a question-and-answer session will close the workshop. "Melungeon Roots: A Family Heritage Workshop" is sponsored by the Appalachian Center at Berea College, continuing the college's long tradition of commitment to Appalachia and to diversity. The event is organized by the Melungeon Heritage Association, Inc. (MHA), a non-profit organization formed in 1998. MHA was an outgrowth of the highly successful First Union: A Melungeon Gathering held in Wise in 1997. In 1998, MHA sponsored Second Union, an even larger gathering which featured sessions and lectures on history, social issues, and medical issues, as well as genealogy. The gatherings are only a part of the work of MHA. The organization is also dedicated to several other tasks, including continued research and writing, telling the story of the Melungeon people, and contributing to the mosaic of a past that has been hidden too long. At the same time, MHA plans to collect and preserve the research and artifacts of the past, forming the basis of a Melungeon Research Center to give these materials a permanent home. MHA�s mission is to document and preserve the heritage and cultural legacy of mixed- ancestry people of the Southern Appalachians. While the focus will be on those of Melungeon heritage, they do not restrict themselves to honoring only this group, but believe in the dignity of all such mixed ancestry groups. MHA is committed to preserving this rich heritage of racial diversity and harmony. MHA plans to hold Third Union in the summer of 2000. In the meantime, "Melungeon Roots" is the first of several planned smaller events which will focus on individual aspects of Melungeon heritage.

> > I have been searching for a Fred BIRD no vitals. Knew he went to Persia > (Iran) to teach at the American University. He was a professor of sociology at Columbia both before and after his stint in Persia. While in Persia he met/married my great Aunt Myra SUTHERLAND, b 3 May 1882 Nova Scotia. She had gone there as a medical missionary. While there they had their only child, Jean Bird, and the family returned probably before 1918. The Birds divorced before 1930, I think. Myra moved to CA. I understand Fred remained at Columbia. Jean Bird md Marc Abram a newspaperman in England. They had a daughter Sarah Abram, b 1946, maybe in England. I'm anxious to find either Jean or her daughter, Sarah Abram because they may have a substantial amount of information on the Sutherand family of Nova Scotia. The retirement home which Myra was employed and later a resident died and her personal effects remained there for some years. When I asked for some information they refused unless they received permission from her family, etcetcetc, blahblahbla. The home has changed hands and all records no longer are available (lost/destroyed?). That's why I'm looking for Fred BIRD. Any clues? Thanks for reading. dana from Hawaii.

Hi Judy, I have three questions to ask you about your posting. Please tell me more about where Little Roaring Creek is located. It does not show up on the US Geographic Nameserver. Is it possible that Sarah Ann was "out of order" and was perhaps born earlier? I saw James was married about 1775, but their first listed child was in 1780. Do you have any knowledge of what became of Sarah Ann? I'm looking for a Sarah Ann Bird that would have been born 13 Dec 1778 that married Peter Meddick, perhaps in Easton, PA. Thanks! Bruce Woodworth

Dear Cathy: Here's what I have on James Bird and Cynthia Osborne: James was born in 1755 in Sussex Co, NJ, son of Alburtis Bird, who was the son of Elisha Bird (my 7-G-grandfather). James married Cynthia Osborne, about 1775. They had 10 children: Rachael, b 1780 Susannah, b 1782 John Y. b 1787 - 1790 Ziba, b 1878 James S. b 1790 Henry b 1818 Sarah Ann b ? William b 1796 Joseph b 1798 Sylvanus b ? Sometime before 1800 the family moved from NJ to Little Roaring Creek, PA. I have more on the children and their descendants, as well as more on the whole line from Elisha. Check out my web page. The other women's maiden names you mentioned were not in my files, but I might have material on the families. Do you have dates and locations?

U. Bishop: there a PETER and SARAH BIRD in my line. They settled in Winn and Grant Parishes. Some of the same line settled in Arkansas. They came to Louisiana from Alabama, Bibb and Cussa Counties. from there they migrated through Ga. from N.C. and prior to that from Surry County Va. The Peter that i'm refering to father was Richard Bird Sr married to Charity ?. My Grand Father was Washington Lafayette Bird was the son of said Peter and Sarah. W. L. Bird settled in Winn and Grant Parishes. My family still owns the lands that W.L.Bird farmed. There was a Lafayette Washington Byrd and others that came from Mississippi and settled in Sabine Parish near Many. I cannot connect with this line. I hope this helps. If i can i will be glad to look more closely at my records of those in Ark. William Greenly Bird dosn't ring any bells. Happy hunting; Roger Byrd 1040 Tranquility Drive Pineville, LA E-MAIL-rrbyrd@linknet.net Behave urself as always; Roger Byrd
