My husband's family came from Aberdeen, Scotland. His line starts with William Bird (son of George) b. 28 May 1796 (have 3 different dates of 28, 29 & 30 on records) m. Mary Christie 1829 and d. 20 Mar 1879 at Fairmont, Martin Co, MN. They had 7 children: William II b. 29 Jun 1830 in Scotland, Alexander (died in infancy), George Mitchal 03 Feb 1836 in NY, James Walker b. 29 Aug 1840 in NY, Alexander b. 21 Jul 1842 in NY, John Park 10 Aug 1845 in MA,and Edward Wallace b. 24 Jan 1849 in PA. Most of the boys came to MN, however, Alexander returned to NY, where most of his ancestors are now. I have info on most of this line. Also I have most of William II's line to present time. If any of these names match yours, I will be glad to share info. [email protected]
