NJ Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/NJ/Middlesex?read=1032 Surname: Shaw, Bird, Judkins ------------------------- A Charles Bird married Deborah (Debra) Judkins in 1870 in Westport, Minnesota. The connection to Middlesex Co. is that Deborah's twin sister, Sarah, had married Ross Shaw who was born in Middlesex Co. in 1838. I am thinking that perhaps Charles Bird was a friend of Ross' family and visited Ross in MN, where he met Deborah.
