Marti Bourjaily said… Hello Donna. Thanks for befriending me. I do not live in Maine anymore but all my ancestors are from there. Mainly Lincoln and Kennebec Counties. A short time ago I knew very little about my family and now I have notebooks filled! My maiden name is Leaird. I am currently researching the names Leaird/Laird/Leard/Larde and even a Leyard (which I found yesterday!) Women they marry have maiden names of Ripley (Mayflower descendent I believe) Hopkins which is a Mayflower descendent, Aliff and Morse. Do you live in Maine? I look up and see that you have a Wallace in your family. I found a William Wallace in my family who married one of the Leard's in either Massaschusetts or Rhode Island, I'd have to look it up. The Internet is such a dream come true for my research. I started over 30 years ago and about 3 months ago I started it back up again. (You know how life gets in the way) I have found out more in the past 3 months than I did over the course of 30 years. Dare I say, it's thrilling! I shall email you very soon and give you some Hopkins information and perhaps we can find a link. Marti.
