Thought I'd give this another try. There's not a soul living who has
any information on this family - even though Myra Sutherland was
my great-aunt!

Fred I. BIRD (birth unk) md Myra SUTHERLAND, b 1882, Barney's River, N.S.
They met/married in Persia (Iran). Myra was a medical missionary and
I believe Fred was professor at American University in Teheran. They had
daughter, Jean born in Persia probaby before 1918 and they returned to U.S.
sometime before US entered WWI.
Dau. Jean md Mark ABRAMS, prob England.
Jean Bird & Mark Abrams had Sarah, b abt 1946, prob Eng.

Fred & Mira Bird divorced, date unknown. He was Prof, Sociology,
Columbia University. Myra a Reg. Nurse, worked & lived at Beverly
Retirement home in Los Angeles area. She died around the 1950's, I think.

Wrote to Columbia re Fred Bird; no response.

Jean Bird & Mark Abrams worked for various newspapers, prob
in England. Wrote to last known address in London. Letter returned,
marked "moved away".

Know nothing abt Sarah Abram

Sure need a lead on this family!
