This message is a response to Voltene: In the current Peoria telephone directory, there are about a dozen listings for BURK. You might try an online phone directory, such as AOL White pages. http://www.aol.com/netfind/whitepages.adp to look at the listings. I did not find the names (of the men) you listed, but some of these are probably descendants or your BURK line. I think St. Boniface is in Peoria (but not in Limestone twp). A few years back, the name was changed to St. Ann's Church; I know not why. The still have old records there. They are mostly in Latin; some are in German. I think they would have them for the time period you are interested in. I have seen some and I can read them ; they are in old ledger type books. If they were and remained Catholic, they were probably buried at St. Joseph Cemetery, which was primarily a German Catholic burial place. Records exist, but are often very sketchy and I have not found them concistently helpful. Current office person is very nice; it is just that the earlier records were not very complete. Don't know if this is any help, but maybe a small start. Bill in Denver (I think you and I have communicated before)
