Good morning everyone, I have been getting a lot of bounced mail, especially from the BIRD and ALLEN list the last few days. Most of it has been from "mail box full" and similar messages. Just wanted to remind everyone, if you don't check your mail boxes and they do get full, after 4 or 5 bounces you are automatically unsubscribed from the list. This is the way Rootsweb's server is set up. Thank you, Sharon Workman Straight [email protected] List Owner DRUMM.

It does not cover all states and all counties, nor all years. But they are working on it. It can be found at http://www.doitnow.com/~moravia/census.html Hope this helps.

Hi! I've been reading the letters about Byrd's, but most of them are in other states. I'm descended from Lorenzo(Lawrence) Byrd born 10 Dec 1822 in Batesville, Arkensas, died in Salem, Oregon of 15 Apr 1907 married to Martha C. Savage daughter of Dr. John Savage and Cinthy Jane Crawford. Lorenzo's parents were (according to the FHC) John Byrd b ~1796 in Kentucky and died 1824 in Batesville,Ark, and Mary Weiss or Wise born 12 Oct 1797 in Ketucky died 29 Dec 1875 in Marion County, Oregon..Any clues?????? Help! Thanks. Marissa Spencer Pulsipher Sacramento, CA

Probably other children. I need proof of parentage of Green. Green married Mary "Polly" Archer, the widow of Gideon Jones of South Carolina.

I have been told that John (1725)'s father was William Byrd, b. ca 1704, m. Jean Bell. His father (I was told) was John Byrd, Jr. b. ca 1698 in VA. m. in Berkley NC to Rebecca Sutton Peterson. John Byrd, Sr. of VA was his father. Any assistance appreciated. Betty

Kaite Welcome -- glad to see you on the List! Nancy

I'm just testing to see if I am on the list. I have joined but have not seen any messages come in.... I don't want to upset anyone..but..just checking!! Thanks!! kaite..

This message is directed to those of you who are related to the following BYRD and DEATON family in NC. If you are not related, please delete and I apologize. Dr. Lloyd Bailey of NC printed a 50 copies of the family history of the following Byrd family several years ago. It was almost 1000 pages long and cost $68.00. Unfortunately I failed to get one at the time. Mr. Bailey said that he would reprint Vol. 2 if I could get 30 people who want to buy it. Price $68.00. This book is incredibly difficult to find. I get nothing out of this--I just want to have it reprinted. I doubt if Mr. Bailey will ever recover all of his research cost for the book. Email me at [email protected] if you are interested. I promised not to bother Mr. Bailey until I had enough orders. Barbara Ward
