I agree with Tina this list has been very slow latly. There's 365 members of this list and I'm sure a lot of you have not posted your lines. If you don't post you might not find a connection. This list for for the spellings BIRD/BURD/BYRD and many of us have at least two of the spellings in our lines, some like Tina even have all three. If you haven't posted before or haven't posted in a while then send in your lines now and just maybe you'll find that connection.
