1.  Your kit number       20259_______________________________________

2.  Your name         Living____________________________

3.  Why did you join the Lost Colony project?

Was ask to join,   having well researched North Devon ancestry and 1-37 DNA test

4.  How is your Y-line DNA line connected to the colonists, the surnames, Native people or the location?

I have direct male line  in North Devon back to c.1580.  William Berd was on board.

5.  Please provide a brief writeup (2 paragraphs to one page in length) on your line that has DNA tested! 

 My grandfather left North Devon in 1902.  Before that our family has lived there since.........the Celts were squeezed down into the west by suceeding waves of invasions?  I have a paper trail to the early 17th century.

6.  Mini-Genealogy From Participant to Oldest Ancestor (complete form below)

Completing the form below, enter the current generation’s name in line 1 and add each generation on subsequent lines through your oldest ancestor.  You don’t need to provide personal info for living individuals, just a placeholder name.   For living people, don’t include the maiden name of the spouse.

7.  Do you have a family website that includes this line?

Can be seen in much more detail in the Bird Family Tree on ancestry.co uk,  but maybe you need an invitation.

Stories and photograph.  Still work in progress

8.  Do you have research items such as papers you may have written, deeds you’ve extracted or other historical or genealogical documents to contribute?

    Far too much to send.  The "Bird family in Devon"  runs to 200 pages   Many Wills, bmd certificates etc..

9.  Do you have history to share?  This could be a family story or history of the area.          

See above

10.  Are you willing to have your e-mail address and first name listed as a contact for your kit?  If so, what is the e-mail you want listed?

      [email protected]

11.  Are you willing to be a coordinator or resource for any of the Lost Colony surnames?  If so, which ones?

        Rather too busy, but anything to do with Berd I could deal with.

We are working to be sure that everyone who should be included in the Lost Colony, is in fact included, and that folks who don’t have a potential link to the colonists have the opportunity to join a project more suited to their needs. 

If possible, please reply within the next week or so.

Thank you very much,

Roberta Estes
