Surnames: Burke Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/5AB.2ACE/3102 Message Board Post: I am searching the Burke family; could anyone tell me if there were any Burkes in the area in the late 1800's or early 1900's.Also, are there many African-Americans in the area today? I am thinking their might be some Burke descendents in the area today. Thank you, Mary
