Yvonne, I often wonder, when I see so many similarities in families, if we all aren't related in som eway, through brothers or siblings of our yet to be traced ancestors. Coincidences are to be expected but some of the similarities seem down right eerie! Perhaps your William and my William are cousins! The only clue that might separate our families would be religeon. My Burns' were Protestant, undoubtedly went to Ireland in the 1600's or early 1700's from Scotland. All the more difficult to trace! How about yours? Marcia
