Do you know if any of your Burdicks were in the Monroe Co., MI area? I have some info on some Burdicks but I will have to dig it up. Somehow they were connected to my husbands family. Either the Berts or Curleys or STevens. Sorry I am not better informed. This is a line I have not worked on. A distant cousin of my husbands gave me some info on them and I haven't had time to read it. I will see if I can find the info in the next few days.
