Those of you who are posting your earliest known Laird ancestor to the Laird list are confusing me, because I do not know if your posting is intended for the Newsletter or just for the list. If the information is supposed to go to the Newsletter, could you please send it to me at my e-mail address. Plairdhoward@aol.com If I see a posting sent to the Laird list I will assume that it is not intended for the Newsletter and will disregard placing it in the January Issue. Sincerely, Patricia Laird Howard
