Greetings from Iowa! I am wondering if there may be some connection between the Burns line you are tracing and some of my ancestors? My Great Grandmother, Nancy Jane Burns (b. 05-01-1863 d.05-28-1950) was from Bell Co. Kentucky. Her Mother was Malinda Burns, Father unknown. She had a brother William (b. 05-04-1885 d.03-12-1975). There were three other siblings: Carlo, Kathryn and "Lizzie" but I know very little about them. If you think there may be some connection I would be interested in knowing more about what you have learned. Pamela S. Brown
