Sharon, The website is www.mcburney.ca. Anyone can access it, and he has been contacted by quite a few people in the last couple of months. His McBurneys came from the Annalong area. It seems there are three families who came over. Two came to Canada and one went to the States. Lloyd has worked with a States family member; they feel the families are connected but have yet to find paper to prove it. We spent three days in Annalong and went to every cemetery we could get into (and one that was locked and no one could find the key, but the fence wasn't that high :). We took pics of all of the McBurney tombstones that we found. I don't know if he's had time to publish the pics or not but quite enjoys communicating with other MdBurneys. They'll all tie together someday!

Thanks so much, I checked out the webpage and found no Morrows. By all intents and purposes the Morrows where coal miners. I am sure there could be other occupations that were woven in there. I am still trying to put these people in Ireland where they said they were from.
