Hello, I have posted my family a few times, but have more information on the family of my gr gr grandfather's brother Samuel LAIRD. Samuel LAIRD died in Burlington County NJ in 1899. He had been married twice and had two children--Ralston and Lizzie . In Samuel's estate file, it states that no one knows where Ralston has gone. I am hoping he may have gone to another state and had a family. The name is unusual enough that I could find a connection. I have checked 1900 soundex in NJ and PA with no luck. Ralston LAIRD was named for his grandfather and uncle, also had a first cousin with the same name. Does anyone have a Ralston LAIRD in their line? He was born about 1860 in NJ or PA. Both parents were born in Ireland. Thanks very much. Kathy Karn
