Yes, Thomas Bird of Hartford, CT who died there in 1662, , and I have NO
idea what you're talking about, Dora??? My entire Bird line is proved
conventionally from Thomas to now, and we have four distant cousins, all
male descendants, who match on the Y DNA.

Since I corresponded with you privately and sent the entire line to your
earlier, I am now completely confused by your message. Are you confusing me
with someone else?
