Surnames: Martin, Burke, Burk Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Wg.2ADE/672.1.1 Message Board Post: Hi, In one of your earlier messages dated 17 Feb 2000, you posted a query for the MARTIN surname in Iowa. I'm searching for my Irish Martin line in Iowa circa 1830's-1850's. I know my great grandmother was in Dubuque and Jackson counties in 1850. Her name is Catharine Burke/Burk (nee Martin). I'm looking for her siblings and parents. To date I only show one brother, Francis (Frank) Martin. Frank and Catharine were born circa 1824 & 1826, respectively, possibly County Antrim, Ireland. They are both buried at St. Joseph's Cemetery, Johnson county, Kansas. Do you have any new information to share? Carol No. California [email protected]
