Hi, I'm also the great great great grandchild of John Bird. Would love to be in touch with you. There will be a Bird family reunion in Rockland in August of 2012. I descend through Almon Bird and I am working with a relative who descends through Hanson Gregory Bird. She is the one who has the great collection of Bird photos. Some date to before the Civil War. Have you looked at my site on Ancestry.com? Which of the 10 children of John Bird do you come through? Will figure out how to get my e-mail to you and my phone number. Your cousin from Wyoming
