I don't know of a Lonnie Burns, but we might be related anyway. I'm Tanya Burns, married now. What I found interesting about your email was that my dad was in prison about the same time in Alabama. His name was Ralph Burns. I hope you find him. My husband's adopted & never knew his birth parents. I wish you well.

We are looking for information on him and his parents etc. His name is John Lonnie Burns. He and our mother were never married. They met in Colorado. She became pregnant in 1954 and at some point he went to prison, exact reason not recalled but it was something like robbery or grand theft. Our mother used to visit him in prison. My sister was born in December of 1954. Our mother worked as a car hop at a diner in Colorado Springs and that is where she met my father. She married my father in November of 1955. Last my sister had heard was that her birth father had a family and that they were living in Kansas somewhere. If anyone knows of this Burns we would love any information that can be provided so that we can trace his and my sisters ancestors. Stacey __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

It is too bad they do not release the census for the 50s & 60s. I would not know how to find out about them otherwise. ----- Original Message ----- From: TANYA WENTZ To: BURNS-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Friday, May 07, 2004 6:53 AM Subject: Re: [BURNS] John Burns I don't know of a Lonnie Burns, but we might be related anyway.
