Thank you ... Birthplace of his parents could tell us if this is the right man or not. The father of the Thomas Edgar Laird I'm looking for was born in Georgia and his mother in either Arkansas or Missouri (it's been listed both ways). Arizona Jack <joaquinw@yahoo.com> wrote: Thomas Laird's birth year in 1930 was 1904. I noticed that his birth year in 1920 was 1903. So this has a high probality of being the correct Thomas Laird.

Russell Laird wrote: Searching for: Thomas Edgar Laird in Dallas, Dallas County; b. Nov. 22, 1901, so age should be 28 or 29 on census. His parents were deceased before 1920. In the 1920 census he was listed in Dallas as "Laird, Thomas", a boarder. Not sure if he was married by 1930 or not. Believed to have lived in Dallas until the end of his life in 1991.
