Hi All!!!! :-)
I am still looking......just curious, does anyone have the names of the brothers
that came from Scotland????? It has been passed down in my family that it was 5
brothers and I just keep wondering if maybe I am looking at my roots and don't
even know it!*G*
I am lost with my 4th great grandfather in New york.....James Baird bMar.14,1819
dNov.14,1896.
Thanks!! Jennie Baird Arent
