Surnames: BURCH, FUCHS Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/3gG.2ACEB/859.860.861.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: While I don't recognize any of the names you mention, I'm wondering whether we might be of the same family. I believe that my BURCH ancestors possibly lived in NC. My grandparents were Enoch Arden BURCH (1867-1951) and Anna Marie (Annie) FUCHS (1871-1941), both believed born in Illinois. When Annie's mother died in MO in 1922, her obituary mentioned that Annie was living in NC, however, I don't know where in NC, or why the family would be there. I also have a cousin, Leroy Burch, and wonder if he's the same one that you mention? We've been researching our ancestry for several years, but still have been unable to learn identities of Enoch Arden BURCH's parents. Only other possible clue may be our grandfather's middle name, Enoch Arden BURCH. As people often used their family surname as middle names for children, perhaps his mother's maiden name was ARDEN?? Maybe a "stretch", but that's about all I have to go on. Thanks for any information, or clues, you can provide.
