Harry Bird
I've "rescued" an old photograph of Harry BIRD which was taken at the Holler Studio in San Francisco, CA sometime in the 1880's. Harry appears to be in his 30's at the time it was taken. Based on limited research I was able to locate the following information regarding Harry and his family:
Harry BIRD was b. abt 1862 in California and married Margaret BIRD (b. 1868) and together they had 3 children including, Myron; Robert; Harriett BIRD, all born between 1899 and 1909. Harry died 15 Jul 1935 and is buried in the Cypress Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery on Colma, CA.
Census records provide the following details:

I am hoping to locate someone from Harry’s family so that this wonderful old treasure can be returned to their care. If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me.
