The problem is we don't know which is Newton and which is Jasper. Can anyone help me identify the twin brothers and their wives? I can send the photo off list.

Burt, I was curious about this Erasmus. It's not E.R.'s son, who was born ca. 1859 and then disappears off the records. The three entries for F.H. Burt are confusing! In the 1870 census, he is in District 48 West Texas, Limestone, Texas, born in Alabama (!) with wife Julia born in Texas with children Martha, Jennie, Hattie and Ras. In 1860, he's in Eutaw, Limestone, born in South Carolina (1) with wife Julia, born in Mi with children Martha, Alice and Nancy. The 1870 census has "Frank" written in after the "F". So it's Frank H. Burt. ANd, of course, the 1880 census lists his birthplace as Georgia and Julia's as Alabama!

If you search for William Washington Burt you will find a great deal of discussion of these folks around 1999-2001. The conclusion seemed to be that there were two separate William Washington Burt families. One in Russell/Lee county and one in Coffee county. It sounds like you are connected to the family from Coffee county. They probably connect to the Conecuh county Burts who descend from Richard Burt of York county, VA. The Burts buried in Salem are a different line. That WW Burt was a son of Zacheus Burt and grandson of Joseph and Elizabeth Burt of Halifax county, NC. Joseph was a son of John and Grace Burt of Gloucester Co., VA. You might also want to check out the Burt-southern website.

By using the results of DNA testing, along with other information and family pedigrees, participants can identify those with whom they share a common ancestor. While no one can guarantee you a match that will lead back up your family tree, more and more people are finding a match as the database expands.Â Please take a look at this web pagehttp://www.worldfamilies.net/order.html, which explains the cost of tests, both when ordered through a project and when ordered individually.Â As you can see, it is to your advantage to order through a project, because the cost is lower, and because you will learn more by working with other researchers of this surname. We encourage everyone who tests to also post their pedigree, so that participants can compare pedigrees as well as test results.Â I encourage you to post your family pedigree, even if you don't have very much information, while you are checking out the Pedigree Forum.Â Some interested researcher may see it and contact you. Here are some web pages with some good information for you: Burt Project 6 Page Website:Â http://www.worldfamilies.net/surnames/b/burt/ Pedigree Forum:Â http://www.wfnforum.net/index.php?topic=6827.0Â Â Â [Please follow our directions at the forum: http://www.wfnforum.net/index.php?topic=2976.0 ] To order a test now, click this link: http://www.familytreedna.com/DNAList.asp?Group=burt Our home page, with lots of DNA and project information: http://worldfamilies.net/ Answers to many of your questions: http://www.worldfamilies.net/faqs.html Information about us and about what we do: http://www.worldfamilies.net/newtosite.html Once you have looked over the sites, you may have specific questions, which I'll be glad to answer.

I am active on the Burt-Southern-USA mail list on Rootsweb for those Burts from the Southeastern US. The two main lines being Richard Burt the elder from Yorktown, VA and John Burtt from Gloucester Co., VA just across the York River. I have been trying to drum up some support for getting some DNA volunteers to see if we can prove whether or not these two lines connect. Both probably came to America via Jamestown, but because of courthouse fires during the War of 1812 and the Civil War few early records assist to determine family connections. Any help that you can provide will be a big help. Â We need prices, etc. for the various tests. Â John K.
