So, you are missing out on updates to Draper Stories by the Draper Family https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Draper_Family_Stories_by_The_Draper_Family
Next you are missing out on updates to Draper Tour Guide: Tour de Farnham, which lists 4,600 Draper related burial locations. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Farnham%2C_Viginia_Draper_Descendants_Tour_Guide_-1
We made 12 coffee mugs with the "Draper Tour Guide: Tour de Farnham logo on it. 12 mugs divided by 38 people is a problem! So, we decided to have a drawing each month. Later, when these mugs are gone, we will make more mugs with both logos ("Tour Guide" and "Draper Stories") The mugs are free but it cost 5 times more to mail than the mugs are worth! So, I only send out 1 mug a month so I don't bankrupt myself!
Please email me with an address I can send the mug to. Then I will have the correct email address for you. The current email I have for you does not bounce, so I thought you were getting the Family Feeds!
All the Family feeds you missed have been turned into Draper Stories by the Draper Family...they are all there on that WikiTree Free Space page. If you have a story or two, please tell me about it!
Thanks Cousin Dave

From what I have found, Bird is the original spelling when they first came to America. The spelling was later changed sometime late 1700's or early 1800's.
