The following are mine.... anyone else recognize them? Shirley, I can't thank you enough for your efforts. A couple of my Laird uncles and a few cousins are getting together tomorrow in Jackson, MO. A cousin in St. Louis will take a copy of what you sent. They really appreciate any information because they were told so little of family history and are now at the age where they wish they knew. I couldn't help but note other Lairds in the same town and county (Cape Girardeau, Jackson MO) and since they aren't that large, I'm convinced there must be a relation. It's a wonderful lead......
