Jim...John Burk settled in Clinton Co Ohio in 1830. The book, "Early History of Clinton Co Ohio",which I found in the Wilmington Clinton Co Ohio Library, listed his name as spelled Burk. The 1850 and subsequent census's of Clinton Co Ohio, lists this John Burk as John Burke. So, if I make referance to Burk, I really am using Burke. Maybe I should unsubscribe from Burk and subscribe to Burke since that is the name that my family has used since the early 1800's. Please advise. I'm sorry to cause all these problem's, I'm no computer wizz, just a 72 year old man who want's to work on my Burk Family history. Thank You......
