Greetings from Iowa! I sat down to go through my e-mail from the last week or two and say your post of 7/28. Like you, I noticed some of the same given names that show up in my Burns family puzzle and, since this is not the easiest family to trace, I check every clue I think might possibly find some of my missing ancestors. Most of my Burns relatives are in southeastern Kentucky but we also have information that leads us to believe they were in North Carolina first. I would love to hear from you if you think there might possibly be a connection somewhere. Good luck with your continued searching. Pamela S. Brown
