I am a Louisiana Burch. My grandfather was Edgar James Burch of Edgard, Louisiana (a town on the Mississippi River between Baton Rouge and New Orleans that founded by the Burch's). His oldest son, my dad, was James Gordon Burch. (Both are now deceased). Based upon information my grandfather told me, the Burch's immigrated to Louisiana from the Alsace region in France (I cannot remember exaclty when but early 1800's. One of the ancestors names was Emile and the other was Antoine. One of them died in a duel. Their was daughter (whose name I cannot remember at this time) was educated at Sacred Heart Convent in New Orleans. The convent still exists and is now known as Sacred Heart Academy and is still educating young women. She was not a nun, just educated by the nuns, did get married, but I cannot remember to whom. There are several Louisiana Burch's who now reside in Lake Jackson,! Texas. There are New Orleans Burch's which was headed by Dr. George Burch, who is now deceased, During his lifetime he was a well known Cardiologist and professor at Tulane University School of Medicine. He, too, was born in Edgard, Louisiana. I believe he has surviving sons, one of whom may be named George and is also a physician. The information I am giving you is based upon memory. I did have it all in typed form, but lost it to Hurricane Katrina. However, you may be able to research more about Burch's from Edgard, Louisiana, which might help you find out more about your grandfather. Good luck. D. Burch Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list. If you would like to reply to them, please click on the Message Board URL link above and respond on the board.

There have been sicknesses and vacations taken by the staff. I feel confident that the book would indeed be appreciated and I can place you in direct contact with their management. There definitely were Burch's who were Patriots in the start of our country. The book would allow researchers to find them and honor their memory and service!

After being discharged, he returned to Baltimore and went to work as a streetcar motorman for the old Baltimore Transit Co. He subsequently was employed by Archway Motors and Odorite of Baltimore Inc. before taking a job as a driver with the old Bonded Armor Carriers. Mr. Burch worked 32 years for the company, which was later taken over by Purolator and finally G. Loomis Armored Cars, and was a supervisor at the time of his retirement in 1992. Mr. Burch was active in the Havre de Grace American Legion Post and had been active with Boy Scout Troop 376 in Churchville. He enjoyed working on cars and carpentry. Mr. Burch was an active member and former sexton at St. John's Episcopal Church, 114 N. Union Ave., in Havre de Grace, where services will be held at 2 p.m. today. Surviving are his wife of 60 years, the former Lillian Donoho; two sons, Martin D. Burch of Churchville and Ric! hard D. Burch of Havre de Grace; a brother, Harry C.

One person mentioned Oneida County, and I do ssee that some of the background historical information was given by an individual in Brocton, NY, which is in Chautauqua County. This may be a possibility. The book is 300 pages long, so copying might be difficult. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

How donating it to a about a library, especially where it may be known there were/are Burch descendants? The Jervis Library n Rome, NY is a possible suggestion.
