Surnames: Burke Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/RkG.2ACEB/2861.1 Message Board Post: My great grandfather, David Burke, was born in Cape Breton about 1820. He then immigrated to New Hampshire. His son was James Monroe Burke, and his son Charles Albert Burke (my grandfather) both of whom were born in Portsmouth, N.H. I don't know any more about the Nova Scotia part of the family but a lot about the New Hampshire branch.
