Dear listers, I have been doing some reading with regard to my McEnerny/McInerney surname and have discovered that it was not uncommon for the McEnerny to change their name to "Bird" in Ireland or in North America. Does anyone else know about this? Anne Marie http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~menard/mcenerny/index.htm

I am seeking information about Anna Bird (b. abt 1678 in King & Queen, Virginia) (m. John Richards abt 1697 in King & Queen, Virginia) (d. 1721 in King & Queen, Virginia). Source: Southern Sojourners; Rosemary Corley Neal; 1991 According to Neal, Anna Bird's father was Robert Bird (b. 1655/60 in England) (m. Unidentified wife abt 1677) (d. 1696 in King & Queen, Virginia). Four children are listed. I would like to find a primary source, ie. where Neal found her information. I would also like to correspond with anyone researching this family. Fred Naef

I have been looking for William BIRD born 1806 convicted and transported aboard the Minerva in 1824 with a younger John BIRD convicted of the same crime. I am now wondering if there could have been two William BIRDS. On his marriage certificate he gave his date of birth as 1820. His wife was very young. He either reduced his age by 15 years for her benefit or he is a diferent William. William BIRD of 1806 is said to come from Birmingham. William who claimed to be born in 1820 and married Anna Maria KEMPENICH in 1858 said he came from Diss, Norfolk, England. Anna was the daughter of a German immigrant to Australia, Valentine KEMPENICH. They had 11 children. He may have changed his place of birth to hide his conviction. He was obviously not proud of it as he destroyed everything to do with his past. William BIRD & Sarah TYLER were the parents of the William who married Anna. Can anybody shed any light on this matter please? Yours sincerely Shirley Bird

Hello everyone, I am looking for information on Bennie BYRD. He married Ella ? . Bennie may have been born around 1880. I think Bennie is of the Darlington SC area. I have no information on Bennie BYRD other than his name and the first name of his wife. I imagion he was a farmer as most were in that era. Thanks Cindy

Birds were possibly Indian traders or connected to the Indian trade in the southeast, as the name is listed in the surname index of a three volume set of Indian Affairs journals, located at http://members.aol.com/rarebk Once at the site, go to Booklists, then Native American Genealogy, and scroll down to the Cherokee Ancestry CD. There you will see a link to the surnames. This site also has an on-line tutorial that shows how to do Native American Genealogy research (the 1835 Cherokee census is within that) and explains the rolls in detail, also some CD's that look to have lots of resource material, and a surname index to Starr's "Old Cherokee Families and their Genealogy." There is more, but too much to list here. Steve ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO! Juno offers FREE or PREMIUM Internet access for less!

Hi, I am looking for other BIRD researchers in Hampshire County, WV. I have seen a Mary Bird(b.1725) m. Stephen Rudell in 1753. She died in 1780 in Hampshire County, WV. Her father was Lt. Andrew Bird. The reason I am researching these Birds is that I descend from 2 BIRD lines one from an Effie Bird(b.1725 and dau. of Elisha & Cathrina 'Ringo' Bird) and a Mary Bird(ancestry unknown). Effie Bird married a Reuben Pownall and they had a daughter Rachel Pownall(b.1756), who married a John Peters(b.1750). John Peters' parents were James and Mary (BIRD) Peters. Both John & Rachel moved to Hampshire County, WV in about 1792. It is currently being speculated that there may have been other BIRD's that moved to Hampshire County, WV(then VA). Can anyone help me on this? John Peters

Hi Listers, I am seeking information about Sir William Bird, described as being of Denston, Suffolk and of London. He was evidently a very prominent attorney in the early 1600's (fl. about 1620, judging from most of the available records at my local genealogy library). He may be the same William Bird married to Frances Maynard (widow of Walter Roberts of Kent), or he might be one generation earlier or later. Is there anyone who has information on his birth or death dates, his children, or his will? I'd also be interested in learning about his life, if there are any biographies or biographical sketches about him. He is described in some sources as "Dean of the Arches" in 1619, and appears to be connected with Canterbury as well (in a legal, not a canonical sense). He was granted a coat of arms in 1606 "by Camden". In 1622, a will that he probated calls him the "venerable father". Thanks for any help.

I got this from one of the other lists I am on and thought you all might enjoy looking at it too. Would you like to see the growth in the United States between 1650 and 1983? This is a great visual. http://www.ac.wwu.edu/~stephan/Animation/us.gif

Hi All, I came across some wills in the New England Historical and Genealogical Register (NEH&GR) last week, and they were eye-openers! Most GEDCOM files posted to the 'net show William Bird and Mary Woodhall as the parents of Thomas Bird of Dorchester, MA (1613-1667). Thomas Bird married Ann [Withington?] and their descendants were the Birds of Massachusetts. This descent from Thomas and Ann is well-documented in vol. 25 of the NEH&GR. This information regarding Thomas' parents is completely wrong. In the NEH&GR, July 1884, pp. 305-308, wills are transcribed in the regular column "Genealogical Gleanings in England" by Henry F. Waters. These columns are also published in a collection by the same name, publ. separately in 1969 by Baltimore Press. The wills are for members of the Woodhall family and other related families, and the Bird family is also mentioned extensively in these documents. In the wills, we learn that William Bird died in 1568, that he had four children with Mary Woodhall, and that she subsequently married William Woodhall (a distant cousin). By William, Mary had four children: William, Thomas, George, and Mary. She then had thirteen MORE children with William Woodhall. All seventeen children were raised as one family, with William Woodhall apparently treating the Birds and the Woodhalls as his own children equally. However, we learn that this particular William Bird died in 1568 (a date also confirmed by a church inscription in the church of Walden, Essex.) Clearly, this William Bird did NOT father the Thomas of Dorchester, who wasn't born until 1613. There is another, later, Mary Woodhall, dau. of Edmund Woodhall (son of William Woodhall and Mary Woodhall, above -- thus the first Mary's granddaughter) also described in the will on p. 306, but it is made evident by a later will that she married a man named Thomas Goad, J.D. A tantalizing clue may lie in the genealogy of William Bird and Mary's oldest son, William Bird (or sometimes shown as Birde), who became well-known as an attorney. He is listed as the executor in several related wills, and is a witness in many others. I believe that this is the same William Bird who was granted a coat of arms in 1606 and was "Dean of the Arches", presumably at Camden, in 1619. THIS William may be the clue to either Thomas of Dorchester or Thomas of Hartford, Connecticut. One other fascinating tidbit: Thomas Bird of Hartford (d. 1662) had a dau. named Mary, who married a John North. It turns out that John North of Hartford was the son of John Dudley North, K.B., fourth Baron North of Kirtling. It suggests that Thomas Bird's family was socially well-connected. The Birds of Denston, Suffolk were only 4 or 5 miles from Kirtling (although in a different shire -- the boundary is in between the two towns). Perhaps a focus on the Denston family in the mid to late 1500's might pay off! Anyway, sorry about the bad news regarding Thomas Bird of Dorchester's ancestry. We can now definitely rule out William Bird and Mary Woodhall as his parents.
