Hi to all,
Many thanks to all, particularly Brummygirl, who have helped my cousin lyn22 in her/our quest for information on our Burke roots. Lyn & I are also in contact & helping each other. I never cease to marvel at the generous help given by members of the genealogical fraternity to each other.

I've been researching the Burke family of Coventry (both in England as well as our branch in Australia) for the past 45 years, by there is always extra information coming to hand, e.g. the burial records from London Road Cemetery.

In 1990 I wrote a rather amateurish family history, as I then understood it (see Dominick Burke's Descendants - Coventry, England to Australia, Donald James Burke 1990, ISBN 0 646 02340 3). The Coventry Public Library has a copy. Since then I have gleaned much more information with the assistance of some of my distant English cousins.

Happy hunting everyone,
Donald Burke.

Hello Don I am glad you saw the post about 66 Greyfriars Lane. I sent you an email with the information yesterday. Your family history book has been a wonderful thing to have I look at it nearly everyday. When I pass away I have already arranged for my Granddaughter to take over my tree on Ancestry she is the only one that has permission to change it. She will also get the well used family history book you wrote and a scrap book of the photos I am making. She is 13 years old and understands how important it is to me and she says it is a privilege  I also am amazed at the generosity of the people who have helped me and in turn try to help. Take Care Lynette
