I received two emails in regard to the Byrd family. Maybe someone out there will know this one? "Hi, I am looking for any thing on John b. byrd born in 1881 sister Dora brothers ?? willie or tom. thank you so much tackytaz@dixie-net.com " I wrote back asking for a bit more info. to help us help her, and received this: "Hey , Im sorry I guess I didn't give much did I. John Baptist Byrd born 1881 sister Dora and brother ?? tom or willie Father could have been George washington Byrd, or lloyd? John as a man seemd to follow the cotton Mills. I have pictures of his family wife mary tennie coleman, son willie of ala, johnny of columbus, sara, tessie and louise. at times they lived in westpoint, merridan, starkville, then went to ala to the mill villages John also owned a business in columbus ms in the 1950 then in about the late 60 moved to aberdeen and thats where he died. I know this isn't a lot but its all I know. I would love to know about my grandfather, and any one that I was related to. the pictures of him look just like a buffalo nickle ( I am serious) they could have used his face. I hope this helps a little. thanks so much Diane tackytaz@dixie-net.com "
