Good Morning: At http://www.castnc2.coastalnct.com/~48pp14mh/byrd.htm there is a list of nine generations for the Byrds. I descend from Richard b. 1844 (actually Dec. 1843) under # 7. I would be interested in talking with other Byrds who are connected to this line and also in seeing if I can obtain copies of the books that are listed there. Please e-mail me if you are connected to this Byrd family - I would love for us to share any info we may have. Happy New Year! Ginger
