Dear Listers,
It is always more difficult to find present day
relatives.
Six of my Shetland great-grandmother's children emigrated

William Birney and their son was Earle Birney, the poet.
Another daughter married into the Matthias family.
Another descendant Bonnie Hay,a nurse came to visit
me in Aberdeen,Scotland. Later she married a surgeon--
