Hi- My name is Laurie Hendrix. I have three main lines that I am working on. The Burdick line is my mother's maiden name- I can go back to Robert Burdick, of Rhode Island. Through his descendants I have learned we are related to Heber J. Grant through Rebecca Burdick Winters. I have also found Thomas Burdick, who helped build the Kirtland Temple. I am researching this line for cousins- especially on New York near Ticonderoga and Saratoga- because my husband's family has photos of my great grandfather's brothers and families. The missing link is we don't know how the family got connected on his side, but his mom remembers her mom saying they were related. The key person- is Reverend Aaron Barber Burdick July 4, 1830 in Grafton, NY - April 17, 1911 in Saratoga Springs, NY. He had 2 wives- Dora ? and Cemanda J Bornt March 29, 1841 in Brunswick, NY - April 9, 1929 in Saratoga Springs, NY. I am working one family from Kentucky- with surnames of Hendrix (Hendricks), Richardson, White and Hargraves- all from Jenks and Speedwell, Kentucky The earliest dates are 1901. The majority of my work is in upstate NY and Vermont- with my ex-husband's lines of Simpson, Robinson, Rist, Boomer, Nichols, Waters, and Hilliker as the main lines. -with my husband's lines of Longley (Langlois), St. Cyr, Simpson, Thompson, Johnson, Bevins, Miller, Austin, Andrews and Hilliker as the main lines. The most recent success is finding my husband's grandfather- his second wife died two weeks ago in a town 20 miles away and I noticed the names- He had died in 1980 and my husband never knew him- he had disowned his three children and now we have just reunited with the wife's niece and nephew and their two children. The husband's first children account for 20 people! It has been quite a shock for everyone...and at a sad time, but its great to meet new people. It has opened a door to a name who is now a person- with talents and hobbies never known before! I have been researching from 1975, but I have only started to use the internet- Any pointers- especially how to create a home page- would be appreciated.. Laurie Hendrix in Adams, Massachusetts
