Surnames: Bird, Munro Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/3EC.2ACE/678 Message Board Post: My great grandfather, Maitland Bird, immigrated from Scotland in March of 1883. On April 02, 1883, he declared his intention to become a United States citizen in Marquette County. He worked as a stone cutter in granite quarries his entire life. I would be interested in what quarries were in operation at that time and their proximity to Montello. Thanks for your help. Bill Mitchell
