    1. [COBoulder] Re: BURCH AND TETER FAMILIES
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/XY.2ADE/393.3 Message Board Post: Hello, I know something of the Burches of Burlington/Hygiene, Colorado. There are eight to twelve Burches buried in the old Hygiene cemetery that your respondent, Cari, mentions. My ggggrandmother (I hope I got that right) was Francis "Fanney" Poil Burch, b. Dec. 19, 1806 in Amherst Virginia and d. October 18, 1872 in Knoxville, Marion County, Iowa. A sizeable group of Burches moved to the Burlington/Hygiene area of Boulder County in the 1860s and 1870s from Marion County, Iowa. The name Teter also rings a bell with me from overhearing conversations in childhood, more than 50 years ago. My grandmother gave me a photo ca. 1895 of an elderly man named "Westley Teter" but I have discovered no Teters in my genealogy or the family history. Let me know where to take this. I believe that you can view the Hygiene cemetery on the Boulder County Gen Web Project Site. If not, it can be viewed a the Carnegie Branch Library for Local History in Boulder (it's on the Boulder, Colorado library web site). Rollie Schafer
