Kin

KIN is the third book of Byrd family history by this author, following Traveling Companions: The Byrd Family of Mt. Olive, Mississippi, and Oaks of Righteousness. This book focuses on the stories of various families who were joined to the Byrd family through marriage, thereby becoming roots to the Byrd family tree. Some of the families are ancestors of Nora Brown Byrd and some are ancestors of Edward Leavell Byrd, the parents-in-law of the author.

The purpose of this book is to provide a sense of history and appreciation for family members from the past. It is hoped that children and grandchildren as well as various siblings, nieces, nephews, and others will find strength for their branches of the family tree from the roots of these ancestors.
