Desparately seeking Any descendant of Fred BIRD: Fred BIRD md my Great Aunt, Mira SUTHERLAND, b abt 1882, Pictou Co., NS. They were probably married in Teheran, Persia, around 1915/6. Fred was a professor at American University in Teheran; Mira was a missionary nurse in Teheran. They had one daughter, Jean BIRD, b abt 1917, Teheran. I'm pretty sure the family returned to U.S. probably before 1918/9, possibly stopping in England for a while. Fred became a professor of Sociology(?) at Columbia University. Fred & Mira were divorced before 1937; Fred staying at Columbia; Mira moved to L.A. area, where she died in 1968. Their daughter, Jean BIRD, md Mark ABRAMS possibly in England. I heard he was associated with a newspaper in England. Mark and Jean ABRAMS had a daughter, Sarah BIRD, b about 1946. I am hoping to find Sarah, Jean or Mark. I had an address for Mark in London, wrote him abt 1970 at that address; my letter was returned to me with a handwritten message: "Moved away". Any help???? Dana from Hawaii
