I must be slow...it took me a bit, but I GOT IT! a BIRD in a HAND............now, I gotta laugh outta that. For the record, I also am looking for the family of William Byrd/Bird who married in Georgia and moved to Noxubee county, Ms with his wife, Mary Hudson/Hutson, where she died, and he was appointed guardian of his own children in 1848. sons: Frederick Hudson Byrd/Bird, William Byrd/Bird, John Byrd/Bird, and dau.s: Mary and Elizabeth. Frederick H. Bird married Lousianna Elliot and William Bird married Martha Means in 1851 (I think it was '51...this off the top of my head.) ear

We are all obviousy very serious about our work or we wouldn't be doing it, but we HAVE to keep that sense of humor. It's a nessecity of life. My brick wall is giving me a headache. I needed a break, Ginny
