William Baird started as an avid history buff and amateur genealogist.  After yeas of only the facts and figures of genealogy, a desire to 'put some flesh on those bones' led to "The Story Teller" about his Irish family, "Dear Rita", a compilation of his father's WW2 letters home, and "Unexpected Journeys" based on characters from his English family.

Mr. Baird was born in Cleveland, Oio and lives in Florida.  He is the father of two daughters.
