Hi Dawna, I imagine that they are buried in the old Catholic Cemetery which is behind the Dalton family barn! I'm not sure what you are looking for. There are census records for 1840, 1850, 1860 for St. Lawrence County. As well, there are 2 O'Rourk's the records: O'Rourke, John m1 Aug. 17, 1851 Hogansburg Mary Donovan O'Rourke, Mary m1 Feb. 24, 1852 Hogansburg Thomas Flaherty There are still lots of Burns families and Rourke families in Waddington/Madrid NY. I might suggest that you contact the historical society in Massena NY as they have quite a few active members. As well, the county historical group in Canton NY might have more. If you are in the St. Lawrence County area. I would suggest using the records at the County Court House, land and wills as often they will tell you many interesting things about where your family lived and who they left their belongings to. I will forward your note to one of the Dalton's and see if they have any more cemetery info. Mary

Hi Mary, The Burns family that I am researching is from Waddington. William and family came across from Canada c.a. 1839. I have quite a bit of information on the children mainly the one son, Barney, from whom the branch I am interested in has continued. What I am trying to determine is where they lived in Canada, where their port of entry into Canada from Ireland was and where they came from in Ireland. So, I'm attempting to find sources for immigration ports in the year 1831 or thereabouts. I am originally from Norwood, NY but now live in FL. My daughter is married to a Burns and the family runs a trucking business out of Canton, NY. I'm doing the genealogy for my granddaughter who I hope will ultimately be interested in her ancestors! Thanks for your help.
