What a great (and inspiring) idea!
I've been researching the 1900 Franklin Cty., Iowa census and have found
several BIRDS.
Only one is from my family but thought I'd share everything I found.
MY BIRDS are:
Calvin Bird b. 1869 in Iowa. Lists parents as born in Ohio. Married Martha
"Mattie"
Burns in 1896. Children on census were Barton b. 1897 and Lance b. 1899.
Other
children, born later, were Gladys, Elaine, Russell and Calvin. Calvin and
Mattie lived in Elgin, Illinois (Kane Cty.) most of their married life.
Calvin must have passed away before 1939, as I find no reference to him on
the S.S. Death Index. Mattie died in
1954. I would love to find some of their descendants as I have a few
wonderful pictures I would like to pass on to them. Calvin and Mattie had
BEAUTIFUL children!
Other BIRDS on the census were:
Matthew Bird b. 1840 in Canada. Parents born in England, wife Catherine.
Charles Bird b. 1867 in Wisc., parents from Canada and England, wife Lillian,
children Forest b. 1896 and Mable b. 1899 in Iowa.
David Bird b. 1871 in Iowa, father b. in Wisc., mother in Indiana, wife
Laurilla. Child
Blanche b. 1893.
William Bird b. 1838 in England, as was his wife Elizabeth. Children Irma b.
1869 and Margueritte b. 1880.
Hope this is of some help to someone and if anyone out there knows any of my
second, third or fourth cousins, tell them to get in touch!
Thanks
Marcia
