Charlotte, It was good to hear from you. When you get on this internet, you realize how small the world really is. My parents were married in Martinez, CA in 1940. I was born in Antioch, CA in 1947. My husband and I moved to OK in 1977 when CA started getting "too crowded and too hectic". :^) This is where his parents grew up and married - before going to CA and raising their family. There appears to be a "reverse migration" BACK to this area. There are two families of Burdines here. My husband's aunt, Martha Hunter (b. 1910), married Fate Burdine. I don't know if that was his real name or a nickname and I don't know when they married - I doubt she was very old. I will do some checking and let you know. I checked the phone book - there are two Peebles listed. If there is anything you want me to check on for you , just let me know. Oh, Yeah, the Smiths. :^) (got sidetracked) Let me know if you find the Smith/Burdine connection. I would love to find a connection with these here. Before I get everyone too confused, let me explain that the Smiths are my husband's father's line - and the aunt that married the Burdine is my husband's mother's line. I'll leave you all with that. Have a good day. :^) Judy Woods
