Afternoon ! Just got on the line. My Great Grand Dad (Thomas Bird) was born in Alabama in1817, fought in the Seminole War with the Alabama Milita,was discharged 1836/7. Married Polly Higdon in 1838, moved to Gallatin County Ill around 1839/40. Received 80 acres in Gallatin County Ill abt 1850 for his service in the Indian Wars. My query is; is there any one out there researching the same family and has information on Thomas's Mother and Father. Thax AL BYRD LIST MANAGER FOR: TAPPTICO-L@ROOTSWEB.COM

Hi, I'm looking for information about Edith BIRD. She was, according to family lore, of Native American descent, and her mother walked the Trail of Tears. Edith was born 1831 in Lady Slipper, Wisconsin. She married Pete Alonso HEAD. They had at least one son, Churchell Bird HEAD born about 1851 and according to census reports, he was born in New York. Does any of this sound familiar, and do you have any clues as to how to further the research on the Native American lore?

Rather than recount the story many times... My machine has been down for a week due to the notorious AutoStart virus. It sat hiding, even from the utility designed specifically to search it out, till I tried to reformat a DOS floppy as a Mac one. Then it proceeded to format one of my internal hard drives! I eventually had to ZAP the PRAM (reset it to the factory defaults for the uninitiated), reformat both internal drives, and reinstall all my software to get everything working again. However, because I've been working full-time for the University of California Regents since the first of October, in addition to my freelance work, I had neglected to do more than spot backups. I lost two weeks of email, including 30 messages I had just downloaded and not read, along with my recent address additions. The really aggravating losses were the two days worth of updating my web pages and family tree (which were ready to upload) and my banking records. Naturally 75% of the 4500 files (600+MB) that were recoverable, were the ones that were already backed up. And most of those were not fully functional. As a reminder for those that haven't had the experience, fragmentation will cause data to come back in small, unconnectable pieces and your entire filing structure is lost. Names of files get appended to fragments of unrelated data and some files are renamed to the program the recovery utility THINKS created them. Imagine having all your client correspondence and layout files combined into on folder and renamed as Word file 0001 through 9999, with no relationship to subject, author, recipient, or even file size. Large scans may show up as 32K PhotoShop files and one page letters may be 50MB in size. No matter how tired you are - back up anything you care about, because that's what you are most likely to lose! Personally I think my Mac was upset because I've been using Windoze95 on a 333MHz Dell for the last month. If I have to use a PC its a LOT better than DOS and much better than Win 3.1 - but I need to reassure my Mac that in no way do I find Win95 an acceptable substitute for even Mac OS 4 (circa 1988)... DOS is driving the freeway on an old "Indian" motorcycle, and Windows 3.1 is a '55 Chevy two-door, and Win95 is a Chrysler Imperial. The Mac, by comparison is a Lexus, Volvo, or Mercedes - depending on the model and your point of view. It will still be a few days before I'm back to "normal" but its nice to have a "real" computer again. -- Sandra Ragan Plum Grafik http://www.sirius.com/~sragplum "After eliminating every possibility, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the TRUTH," --------Sherlock Holmes

I printed out a "bunch" of Burd surname soundex cards for the 1900 census as well as a few from the 1880 soundex. Note that this is for NEW JERSEY - most of them, in fact, are from Warren Co., NJ. If you have a Burd who lived in Warren County, please provide as much information as possible and I will check it against the sheets I have. I reserve the right to take as long as I have to, and to refuse any requests which involve additional research. I don't know what I have; I am trying to locate Ida Snyder and her mother Elmira (Silverthorn) Snyder through her marriage to Frederick Burd. The Burds lived in Fullerton, PA in 1910 and in Warren Co., NJ in 1900. Any help with these would be appreciated. Ed Hagan haganef@mindspring.com

Hi all: Here is a list of the surnames which are connected to my main surname, BIRD. The Bird line I am researching comes from Wantage Twp., Sussex County, NJ and possibly Warren County, NJ. Some, William Bird born 1801 and His wife Lottishey Hornbaker, moved to Madison Township PA around 1847. Any connections would be welcomed greatly. Thanks for looking.

Dear Cherl I tried to get this message to you through AOL and JUNO and it was undelivered. So I figure it will go through this time. I don't know if you have used the facilities at the Family History Center in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saint. They have pedigree/descendency charts on both of the BIRD women you are looking for. I'm sure you will will want to look at them. Neither one are my direct line but they both do fit into the branch lines. I have BIRD/MYRICK/HATHWAY/LUCE ect. We prob. connect several different ways. I see that malek@flash.net sent you Dorothy LORD's will. So I will leave that one alone. But, on the rec. I have say that Diighton BIRD b. 10 Nov 1678 Dorecster, Suffolk, MA md. bef. 1712 to Isaac MYRICK b. 1678 Eastham, Barnstable, MA his parents Stephen MYRICK/Mary BANGS (twin). Issue: Issac b. 1712, Dighton 1714/15, Elizabeth 1717/18, Rebecca 1720/22, Mary 1721/22, Anna 1722/24. I hope this helps. I go to the FHC at least once a week so, if you need me to look up something for you let me know. Carol Kirn CKirn@aol.com

I have a BIRD female. I don't know much about her...but...would love to connect with this BIRD family... Here is what I know... This is taken from a little family history that was sent to me by a cousin and I will type it just as HE wrote it.... "In the year of 1815, in the state of tennessee, a fullblood Choctaw baby was born. I can't find the names of her mother and tahter, but they named their baby Christina, which was usually written in the sort form "Tennie." She was 21 years old when her folks were (by the order of the federal govenment) started on the "Trail of Tears" move to the Indian Territory. The Indian Removal Act of May 28, 1830, moved the Choctaws to Indian Teritory in 1836. Tennie's family either bought their way out of the march--they could well afford to--or just slipped away. That was the two ways they could have gotten out of coming to I.T. Both were common occurrences during the march. The soldiers were sympathetic to their plight, for one thing, and the other reason for not guarding them clsely was that each Indian who was let slip away was just one more Indian that the soldiers didn't have to worry with. Tennie's folks settled around Casseville, Mo. There was a large group of her brothers and sisters; I can fine none of their names, except one sister's name was Sarah. Tennie married a man named BIRD. I have found the name spelled "Byrd" but the oldest documents render it "Bird." She was our great- grandma. In 1844, when Tennie was 29, on the 18th of November, a baby girl ws born to her. The baby was named JULIA ANN BIRD. She had brohters and sisters, some of them settled in Arkansas and for a time some of granny's folks lived at Panama, Oklahoma. The BIRDS moved to Crawford County, Arkansas before the war, near Van Buren. It was at the home of her mother and step-father that JULIA married her beau she had met in Missouri.......JAMES AKINS........." A little more continues on.... "The newly-weds made their home with James's father, Jimmy Akins, north of Greenwood.........." Here are some of the children recorded that were born to JULIA ANN BIRD and Jimmy Akins: John Nicklis, March 1, 1867, Greenwood, Sebastain County, Ark Mary Ann , August 8, 1871, Greenwood, Sebastian County, Ark George Washington, July 15, 1874, Texas James William (Will) April 21, 1876, Greenwood Vandia Lee (Frost) May 1, 1879, Greenwood Victory (Vic), July 15, 1881, Greenwood Henry, March 17, 1884, Greenwood Minnie B., June 6, 1886, Greenwood Christinia (Tennie) March 13, 1888, Greenwood Havey Bishop, June 25, 1891, Greenwood They moved to the Indian Territory....and finally got her Civl War Widow's pension granted, (Oct 7, 1898).... certificate number 469508 and the money was sent to her on November 16, 1898. This is when she lived at Skullyville, OK.... She took the check to Keota, OK It was said that she was afraid to sign the Choctaw Indian rolls because she was told that she would lose her Civil War Pension check!!!!! When she had her first stroke (1914), she did not fully recover....The doctors that were used were: Dr. Newman, Dr. Lett, Dr. Van Matri, and Dr. Bush. The lawyer used by JULIA ANN BIRD Atkins was Clark from Stigler, OK...... She died May 10, 1923.....She was 78 years old...and....six months...in OK... Hope this helps to connect to this family!!!! Thanks!!! kaite....

Hello, I'm fortunate to count two BIRD women among my ancestors. But as a new researcher I have few facts and little detail - most of it based upon genealogies posted on-line without source references. I would appreciate information on each of these two women and referral to reliable research resources to pursue. First, Dighton BIRD, b ca 1685 married Isaac Merrick (various spellings) and lived in Taunton, Bristol Co., MA. Cited as parents (without source reference) are John Bird and Elizabeth Williams. Second, Dorothy BIRD, b ca 1588-89 and d 1676 married Thomas LORD. Resided in Hartford, CT. Thank you in advance for any information you can share or pointers you can offer.

Cheryl: Dorothy Bird is not part of my line, but I know there are a lot of gedcoms that contain her family on the Ancestry world tree. It can be found at http://www.ancestry.com. and is a free service. I especially like the name she and Thomas gave to their first daughter: Thanks To Thee. Judy
