I'm looking for information relating to my paternal grandfather. Harvey George Burks. He's listed in the SSDI, where his birth year is given as 1898. (My father thinks he was about 5 years older though) Given the time frame that he was born in, you'd think that he was in WWI...but my father's under the impression that my grandfather never served. Supposedly, my great-grandmother was widowed w/several young children and my grandfather was either the oldest or close to the oldest. I have heard stories relating many states, including: Arkansas, Texas, Tenn., Kentucky, etc. I DO know that Harvey George Burks married Charlyn DeWitt (also listed in the SSDI) and they had 2 children...my father, Charles Norman (b. 1942) and my uncle, Lawrence Harlan (sp?) who's about 5 years older. The family moved around a lot...my uncle Larry was born in Winslow, AZ and my father was born in Weed, CA. During my father's childhood, the family generally lived in Northern California and in southern Oregon for a short while (lumber mill work, I believe). Additionally, Harvey George Burks worked on the contruction of Hoover Dam. On a different note, one story that I've heard consistently through the years relates to there being a female Indian marrying into the family a generation or 2 before my grandfather. ...something about this lady marrying a Texas Ranger Burks. I really don't know if the story is true or just something my dad concluded on his own based on my grandfather's looks: over 6 feet, reddish skin, prominent nose/cheekbones. I know I'm looking for a needle in a haystack here but HOPEFULLY there's a descendent of a sibling/cousin/whatever on this list that just might be able to help me! If anyone has come across *any* Harvey Burks (or any derivation thereof!), please contact me via e-mail [email protected] Thank you! Lynette A.

Hello Karen Your Burke connection in Ulster County interested me, as my Burkes we also from Ulster, residing in Kingston. My Burkes were born Ireland about 1820. Emigrated to NYC 1845, residing in Brooklyn until 1850 +/-, then to Kingston where there purchased property, a quarry I believe. My gr.gr.grandfather was Patrick Burke, his siblings, also moving to Kingston, included James, Tobias, Archibald. Patrick (d. 1889) married Martha Curry, and their children incl. Patrick Catherine, Sarah, Mary, James, Rosa and Arthur. Archibald (b. 1829) married Mary and the only known children I have are James, b. Kingston 1856 and Helen b. 1859. Kate I am new to the list and looking for information about William H. Burke who served in the Civil War. I believe he married a Wager (not sure of first name). He was from Ulster County, NY and had at least the following children: William C. Jesse Martha George Emma Elizabeth Anna Any information would be greatly appreciated. Karen in PA

Hello Listers, I am searching for any information on John P. Burks (b. 1846, d.1911). He married Francis Maria Richardson and they had eleven children. He served in the 27th Mississippi Infantry, CSA and was wounded in the Battle of Resaca (GA). ==== BURK Mailing List ==== NOTICE !!!!

You can go to this site: http://www.civilwardata.com/pers_dir.html and enter William Burke, NY, and you'll get 50 hits. Unfortunately you have to subscribe to get more information on any of them. There are 3 William _H_ BURKEs in the list, but I wouldn't put too much faith in the Army recording the middle initial of any CW soldier, so your man may be one of the others shown without a middle initial. Your man (or a survivor) will hopefully have applied for a pension - that's about the only record which would contain enough personal information to enable you to match him with his family. The National Archive will search through only 5 files before giving up, so you may have to go to Washington and search yourself, or else hire a researcher to do so. If you know where he (or his widow) was living in 1890, you can try searching the 1890 Special Census of Union Veterans and their Widows. This will often list the regiment in which the soldier served. (Note: Most of this special census survived even though the regular 1890 census schedules are almost totally lost.)

It's time to try to find some cousins again - I do this about every six months or so. Maybe someone out there will recognize the names. If so, please contact me. Richard BURKE 1. Catherine BURKE m. James CUMMING They emigrated to Australia (or more likely were banished because of their political sympathies) No more heard from them. 2. James BURKE. Emigated to Australia. No more heard from him. 3. Thomas BURKE 4. Michael (or Thomas) BURKE b. 1810; d. 1887, Winona, MN; m. Mary WALSHE, daughter of William WALSHE and Mary KEARY. Michael BURKE settled in Oswego, NY. He first worked on repairs to the Erie Canal. Then purchased a farm and five more children were born. When the Civil War was ending they were intrigued by the offerd of free land in Minnesota and because Michael's brother Thomas had come to Minnesota in 1859. So in 1865 (April 17 arrived in Winona) the younger children accompanied them to Minnesota. In time they moved to a farm known as Summit Hill near Utica, Minnesota. a. Daniel BURKE b. 4 June 1839, Ireland; m. Bridget MORAN 18 Jan 1863, Winona, MN 1. Thomas BURKE b. 20 Nov 1863, Winona, MN 2. William BURKE b. 20 Jan 1865, Winona, MN 3.

I am searching for John BURK born in VA around 1780-1800. His son Samuel Hamilton BURK's death certificate stated that his mother, wife of John, was Nancy BROWN of OH. So far this has been a big brick wall for now for 5 years. Samuel Hamilton BURK was born in 1833 in OH. He moved to Iowa in 1859 just in time to make the state census in Hardin County. They lived in the town of Ackley, Iowa which covers two counties there. He married Elizabeth Jane HERMANN of IN. All their children are listed being born in Iowa on their census papers and death certificates. Around 1870 the family moved to Minnehaha County, South Dakota where the land Samuel owned became BURK Township in Minnehah County to this day. Their children: 1. Edna Etna Serpentina BURK m. Morgan Pugh HOSKINS 2. Ida Minerva BURK m. John Frederick DEMEREE 3. Aggie BURK m. Edwin J. NOAKES 4. Ulysses Grant BURK m. Emma WALTON 5. Cora Albina BURK m. Thomas S.
