Jan,

Thank you for posting this. I haven't found a family connection yet but I am still looking. They may have been friends.

Matt

Which Burkhart family are you looking for. I have quite a lot of information on them. And on the related families.

Thanks.

This would be M.L. Burkhart and Maggie (Mat) Burkhart of the Dayton area. M.L.'s mother may have been named Louisa. Other family names are Lake, Nichols, and Slocum. I have obits for some of them.

M.L. and his wife ( Maggie?) came from Missouri around 1890.

The Burkhart's were connnected with the family of Lewis McKinsey .

Matt

M.L. Burkhart and Maggie are the people I posted the information about in my response to your original posting. Madison L Burkhart and Margaret Kennedy. My great grandmother was Nancy Burkhart. M.L.'s mother was Louisa Lea and his father was John D Burkhart, it's in the original posting. I can send you a GedCom file or a text file if you like.

Hi. I am researching the Burkhart family. John Wiley Burkhart b:Dec 1856 and married to Anna A. b:Oct 1862. I am looking for his sister, Anna Burkhart Nichols. They all lived in Spokane area, Washington. Born in Missouri. Are these your Burkharts? Do you have any more information that you would like to share? Thanks Margaret Saul

I was reading the information posted on Burkhart families. You said you have alot of information. Do you have anything on B.Augustus Burkhart born August 1855. He is on the 1900 Brecknock Twp.PA Census I do not know where he came from. He is my 3rd Great Grandfather. Has a relative by the name of Moses. Thank You

I am researching the family of Anna Burkhart Nichols of Spokane, Washington. She married Orville Nichols. They had a son, Haldon Dewey Nichols. He is the great grandfather of my sons. I will share the information I have on this family. Margaret Sauk

I have information on the Burkhart family. I am also researching a branch of this family. In a "History of Big Bend Country, Washington" There are two pages telling the History of Madison Burkhart and Andrew Burkhart. M. Saul
