>does any of your Byrd's spell it Bird, if so there is a friend of mine name Rose Bird - her e-mail is ( ) she might can help you Kay< Thank you Kay, for 'another' researcher's name. As to your question about spelling, I am not sure yet. Haven't made it past my great-grandfather. I know you are right about the names too. I never thought there would be more than one George Washington Driver...but land sakes; there are a slew of them! Then I wouldn't even begin to guess how many Chesley John Daniel Boatrights there are. <G> That is one of my maternal line names. Sharon shadri@perry.gulfnet.com http://www.geocities.com/shezzybug/
