Thank you, gnstill, yes, I have seen the William Bird link and will post in there from now on if it's specific to him. Bird, if you would like to email me, we can talk more directly too and I will send you the book. efamily5@yahoo.com Also, since this is posted on the James Curtis Bird forum and the ...

On my family tree, it lists the William Jr. you're talking about as William's (1803-1885) son who lived 1826-1900, however, "Bird" and I are not descended from him, we are descended from William's (1803-1885) other son, John Thomas Bird (1850-1946). I have the Out From Hudson's Bay - James Curtis ...

We are certainly closely related! John Thomas Bird was my great grandfather too so your Grandpa Francis Bird and my Grandma Laura May Bird must have been brother and sister! I'm so happy to meet you on here and I look forward to chatting more. I live in the States and just called the Metis National ...

Thank you for your reply, Bird. I would love to hear as much as you know about any of the Bird Family. William was my great, great grandfather, James Curtis my third-great grandfather.

It's Laura May again, I am not sure how to reply to a specific post, but I wanted to comment on Bird's Hillian's post: I am Ruth Silde's niece, she was my mom's sister. We were very close, I miss her a lot! She was the family historian and I told her daughter Donna (my sweet cousin) that I would ...
