I am Theodore Burkey's granddaughter, although that is open to a lot of speculation. I believe that I am actually Bertha's granddaughter. She was institutionalized when she was only 16 years of age. I knew Alfred Burkey quite well and his wife Florence, who was Cherokee Indian. The Burkey name was really Burke I understand. I have a list of the family members. It was a large list. There was Joseph, Alfred, Gracie Darling, Bertha, Beulah, Florence, Theodore, Paul, George and someone else that I have on my list at home. Uncle Joe is the one who said that the name was Burke and Irish. He said he was proud of it. What is your relation to the family? I know a little aboaut my great grandparents. Such as, My great great grandfather was in the civil war. I have some documentation that my great great grandmother had with the Army. He went AWOL several times. Please get in touch with me. I would love to talk to you. My phone number is (! 724) 327-3680.
