Surnames: Burress, Biggs Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/EKB.2ACE/775 Message Board Post: Searching for BC for James Homer Burress, born 02 Sept 1902 in Lock Springs, Daviess County, Missouri - according to any document wherein he wrote his date and place of birth. However, records don't seem to exist for that time period. I've sent a request in to State Archives for copy of BC but I'm expecting them to come back saying not found. Is there any other way for me to confirm who his parents were other than a BC? I feel about 88% certain of his father and 98% certain of his mother - but particularly in reference to his father - would like to feel closer to 100% certain! Father, I think is William Alonzo Burress. Mother, I think, is Rhoda Catherine (Biggs) Burress. I have quite a bit of background on the Biggs family. Ideas? Thanks - Laura
