Family Pages

Written for the edification of my grandchildren, the Margie Birdsall Memorial Page is a historical eulogy of the great-grandmother they were too young to know.

The Parish of Birdsall, England, circa 1823. This ancient source of the family name developed around a monastery constructed circa 500 A.D., later to become known as the house on Brett's Hill, then Brideshalle, the manor house of a medieval fiefdom.
