Surnames: BYRD FORTIER FORREST Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/pBC.2ACE/3840.1.1 Message Board Post: Yes this is a match and I would like a copy of the birth certificate very much. Someone else gave me the 1928 Phone book and Harriett is with Jean then. He is French from Canada and speaks French. He is much older than Harriett and I would like to find Byrd offspring from Ernest and I was told there is a large population of them in Tacoma or Pierce Co. and I will look into that. I have searched for the whereabouts of this woman for as long as I have researched genealogy and it is only a few years but have never had luck as I looked in MI where her mother's folks and siblings were. And I had a postcard addressed to her when married to Mr. Byrd and did not know it was her due to it was written to her and it is a picture of her and Ernest at about a year old. So her first married name was looking me in the face all this time. I will be glad to find the first name of Ernest's father and I am unsure of how to trace Harriet after her divorce from Mr Fortier. So I have gone to the WA State Archives and see if they have dates and names and I have not heard from them yet. I am excited to find this young man and also wonder if she had more children after Mr. Fortier. Let me know how to go about getting the birth certificate of Ernest. Anita
