Welcome to the Hird Family Genealogy website. My name is Betsy Hird Warren, and I have the pleasure of being the last grandchild of James and Ethel Hird. Their youngest son, Wesley Hird, is my father.
Wes, Ethel, and lil' ol' me in March, 1973
I grew up listening to my dad, aunts and uncles tell stories and adventures of growing up in Colorado and Nebraska during the Depression, and those stories became dear to my heart. Our family is so large and scattered now, that I felt having a place to preserve those stories, as well as memories of the folks that started it all, was needed.
This site is intended to be a tribute to, and archive of, Hird Family History.
Not only does it contain factual information such has family trees and other records, it is an interactive site as well. Because this site is in the format of a message board, registered family members are free to post their own photos and memories, and to make comments regarding others' memories.
This site is a work in progress, and new photos and information will be added as often as possible. I have so much more to share, so please check back often for updates!
All descendents and relatives of Ethel and James Hird are welcome to register to become members of this site, and to contribute to its content. I have a lot of factual content to provide, but what will really make this site special are Your stories and memories.
Once you are registered, please feel free to post as you will. It goes without saying that since this is a family website, all content should be family-friendly. If you need any assistance navigating the site or with technical issues, please email me at my yahoo address below, or call me at 308-238-0907. **If you have difficulty viewing the site using Internet Explorer, please try it again using Mozilla Firefox as your web browser. For some reason that is beyond my control, ProBoards and Internet Explorer are not compatible at times.
*This project wouldn't have been possible without the assistance of my aunt, Lela Hird Epley. It is from her photo album and handwritten notes that much of my content comes from. A big thank you also goes to my cousin Ardith (Hird) and her husband Dennis Davenport, whose original compilation of early Hird and McGinnis history is quoted here.*
Furthermore, I'd like to give recognition to another website that provided me with the inspiration to create this one. trudellgen.proboards52.com/index.cgi is a site created by my husband's cousin, Jimmy Sweet, to archive their family history. Thanks Jimmy!
Any questions or concerns may be addressed to me via email at bhirdwarren@yahoo.com. I look forward to your contributions!
