Surnames: Bird, Zarr Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/EhB.2ACE/382.410.415.428.431.432.1.2 Message Board Post: Well, I finally got my database loaded into the new software, at least a GEDCOM of it, and I find none of the names you mention, although there are some Halls and Grahams on the paternal, non-Texas side of the family. Not sure if Birdie was just a common first name or there is some link between our families among the cousins, but I should add that Elba, Nathan and Margaret are all predominant first names among the Birds, so I guess we should both keep looking!
