I'm looking for the family of Roland Harrison BURKS. He was born in KY on January 10, 1813 and died in Hardin County, TN on August 2, 1852. He and wife Mary T. Pratt had 13 children. Some remained in TN and at least two of his younger sons and Mary T. Pratt moved to Texas by 1870. The youngest child, Green Clinton Burks, is my ancestor. Green was born on December 8, 1851 in Hardin County, TN and died in TX on November 8, 1917. I have not found any information about the parents or siblings of Roland Harrison Burks. I do not know the KY county of his birth. I would be glad to hear from anyone who is researching this same line of the Burks family.

I am a Geneology Rookie! I am new to this list and the reason I joined this list is to help me find out more about the Burk Line in my family. I am 22 years old and live in New Mexico. When clearing out my grandmother's (Jesse Lee Burk) house after her death in 1993, we came across a Burk Family Birth List it is as follows: William Burk 21 September 1847 born in Arkansas Margaretta Burk 6 April 1844 Mary E. Burk 16 August 1867 William T. Burk 1 December 1869 John P. Burk 15 August 1873 Newton E. Burk 29 October 1876 died in Texas Sarah Ellen Burk 29 October 1876 Annie Dora Burk 4 January 1883 Jessie Lee Burk 22 November 1920 born in Texas Albert F. Burk 13 May 1924 born in Texas With just this information - there are some great leads on it but I do not know a lot of what the relationships are. Through my research of Birth Certificates, I have found out that the first William Burk (21 Sept 1847) is the father of Jessie Lee Burk (my grandmother) and Albert F. Burk. Hard to believe...but this is true! He was 79 at the time of Albert's birth. There is also a third child in this family that I cannot find any information on, except for the birth certificates of the other children. Any help with these names is so greatly appreciated! This is about all the information I have on the Burk Line in my Family! Thank You so very much! Sarah R.

I have little on this line, so please bear with me. My great grandmother Mahaney, madien name Gavalir, had two sisters, Mary and Catherine. One of them married a Burke (unsure of spelling). I have no dates for Mary or Catherine. My great grandmother, Elizabeth Mary Gavalir Mahaney, also had a brother Joe Gavalir. Their parents were John Gavalir b. 1855 and Anna Dragos b. 1858. Both were born in Austria, according to family records. Elizabeth b. Jan 23 1896 Pittsburg Pa and d. 1977. John died in PA we believe. My mom remembers the Burkes to be some way connected with Anheuser-Busch in the old days. Does any of this seem familiar to anyone out there? -- If you cannot get rid of the family skeleton, you may as well make it dance. George Bernard Shaw
