Hi Sherry Johnson, >From what you sent it would indicate that there was a very close relationship to the Birds of NJ and the Hulings and with the Birds of Birdsboro but it appears to be only in proximity and partnership. Is this a correct statement or am I missing something said in your notes? What did you think about the RUTTER -DARBY-PETERS conenction I sent you? I do have to read your article on this William Bird. How do I get a hold of a copy? Do you have a word document or a scan of it that is available? Many Thanks for your help on these possible connections. John Peters
