Launa, in posting to BIRD-L you made Tues. Sept.23, you write: I have 85% of all the decendants of John Bird and Nancy Couts. I have run into a blank wall tracing my BIRDS who came from Missouri, to Kansas and then to Oklahoma. Would you please check your descendant charts to see if you have any descendants of John Bird who lived in Missouri in the mid-1800's. I would so much appreciate this help. I will check my information for your John Bird. Thanks, Cact [email protected]
