Evening! I've been with the bird maillist about 11/2 years, unfortunately haven't found any information concerning my family. I placed on line a good size document concering the John Byrd and Robert Byrd of Kentucky. John married Susannah Ferris.and on down.I researched this line for almost a year then to find out I was on the wrong trail, luck of the Irish. I'm going to use another tactic. My Grand Mother, Mother Tapp married my GrandFather, Jacob Byrd, Faulkner County Arkansas. Martha Tapp is the 6th Great Grand Daughter of King William Taptico of the Wicocomico Indians, a Nation of the Powhatan Confederacy. When William Taptico Died in 1719 his wife settled his estate and changed the family name to Tapp and moved from Northumberland to Spotslvania VA. Does this ring a bell with any of the Birds that are on line. We now have a Web Site for the Wicocomico Taptico Indian Nation, http://www.Skyboom.com/wicocomicoindiannation Al Byrd
