The oldest Henry Burdett is my greatgrandfather. He left the family when he was 19 and headed for the gold fields of CA 1849. Trying to locate the parents in DeKalb. They show up in the 1860 census. The census records of 1850 are almost unreadable at the Family History Library in Oakland, CA. I am trying to track the family back to Penn. where the parents were born.
