        LAIRD FAMILY TREE: My Father, Albert Bertram Laird, was born in Carrick-on-Shannon, County Leitrim, Ireland.

        There are two Web Pages which are very relevant to the Laird Family and its Irish Roots: Laird Family Association and an opportunity to visit and live in the home in which Albert Laird and his brothers and sisters were born: Primrose Cottage

        Conviction: that the use of the World Wide Web and the Internet will continue to the point where Web Pages, such as this one, will become permanent sources of information, even outliving their authors.
