Hi list, Has anyone ever heard of the Burrage surname being connected to the Bird name. My great great grandfather was a Burrage from Mississippi, but some of his children ended up going by the name Burge when they grew up. I have been told that the name was originally Bird or Byrd. However, they were going by the Burrage surname as early as 1870, so I am not sure at what point the name became or was Bird. Any info/ideas will be greatly appreciated. vr Darlene Researching names: Burrage, Burge, Neely, Cole, Love
