Dear Fellow Bird Researchers, As some of you already know, I have uploaded a lot of data concerning the Bird family in New Jersey and other related families on my website. I'm afraid that some of this information might be incorrect. As I state on my page, this info comes from my own research, posted family trees on ancestry.com, other web pages, things other people have shared with me, and a book on the Bird family. One "fact" that I had seen a few places was that my 7-G- grandfather, Elisha Bird, was the son of Andrew Bird of Long Island, the father of a few sons that raised their families in NJ. AsI looked at the data I had, it seemed Andrew's other sons all had a lot in common as to where they lived, how their children and grandchildren were named, etc; Elisha didn't share any of these similarities. I began to try to find out why people would say that Elisha was Andrew's son, and could find nothing to tie them together. I asked on this list and the genforum list; sent emails to a few people I consider to be very knowledgable about Andew Bird's family; even spoke to the author of the book, and no one had any support for the relationship. So, since I have my doubts about this, I am "disconnecting" Elisha from Andrew in my database and at the next update of my website. I apologize to anyone who used that data from my website. It might still turn out that Elisha is Andrew's son, but until I have something to tie them together, I will assume they are not.
