Marietta asked about whether anyone was researching Tamar Byrd. Suggestion: do a <A HREF="www.google.com">www.google.com</A> search for Tamar Byrd [lower case OK] but put her name in quotation marks. There were a couple of hits--at least you can try to communicate with the person who posted the information and see if you can collaborate on doing the research. Try this google search with your ancestors who had rather uncommon names--don't try it with John Williams or John Smith. You will be on the internet for many hours!!! And you may find, as I did, that a person by the name I was searching was on death row and awaiting execution (headlines). Others are athletes and more headlines! Of course, you have to recognize that much of the genealogy that is on the internet is terribly flawed. Try to get some documentation--where did the correspondent get his/her information? You want to find that source, through a film from Salt Lake City, if possible, or an interlibrary loan. Happy hunting!! E.W.Wallace E.W.Wallace

Thanks to all of you who responded to my query concerning Tamar Byrd. She seems to have a lot of descendants, but no parents nor siblings !! Neither do they agree as to her dob.
