Boy.. you are outside my immediate knowledge. I haven't studied this side of the family too well. There is a great forum for this though.... I will forward your email to it... BURNEY-L-request@rootsweb.com You need to send this address an email with the word subscribe in the "subject" area of your email form and also in the body of your message by itself... no other text. This will connect you to the Burney researchers via e-mail and you may find a connection. "Bonney A. McClellan" <bmcclell@unr.net> Bonney is a good BURNEY researcher and "Brian E. Michaels" <michaels_b@popmail.firn.edu> Brian is also a Burney researcher. I'm sure you will find others. Sorry I can't help you more but I just don't know this line well enough yet. - Bill Brooks, Vista, CA Mad1812@aol.com wrote: > > I am the gggrand daughter of David r.
