Very rare. Written by Verle and Margaret Oyer, with an introduction by Lloyd Burkey. Dated March 1966. Softcover. 125 one-sided pages. Contains information on the descendents of Joseph and Mary Burkey Birky, born in 1828 in Bavaria, Germany. His sons moved to America, originally to Butler County, Ohio, but then all settled in Tazewell County Illinois. Hope this helps to know there is a book out there...
