Hi everyone, I just wanted to let everyone know that I've had sucess in find more information on my BURD family. A few weeks ago I contacted someone from this list about his BURD family. Little did I know that he would have information in his files on my BURD line. He did and snail mailed me the information boy was I tickled when I read down the lineage and saw my Otis BURD on this lineage. Now instead of having my line back to 1839 in NY, I am back to 1748 in Essex Co., NY. I've been working on verifing the information and have sent a letter to the author of the lineage. If anyone has the spelling BURD please feel free to write me and I'll check the info I have and see if we can make a connection. One more thing as we've researching our lines we tend to make copies of everyone we find with this surname, later to find they don't connect with our line. It's time to pull those records out and blow off the dust and post them to the list. Who knows you might be able to find a home for this person with someone on this list. Good Luck everyone in your searches, Lisa R. SMITH CLEVERSEY [email protected]
