Hi again, I'm also very excited.This weekend is not a good weekend for me.However, I'm very interested in talking to you.Maybe you could reach me by phone my number is 410-758-8233 and my e-mail address is [email protected] me give you a little more information.My great grandfather Frank Burris also lived in Knoxville MD when he was there he was married to Bertha Wells Himes.She was married to Joseph Himes before she married Frank Burris.All three are burried in the cemetary in Knoxville.Bertha had three children before she married my great grandfather (Frank) she then a two girls with Frank one being my grandmother Margaret.Bertha died when my grandmother was only 3 of stomach cancer.My grandfather Frank put my grandmother and her sister in boarding houses while he worked for the B & O Railroad.When he died he died in Baltimore MD.I do believe that he lived in Baltimore before marrying Bertha and when they got married is when the moved to Knoxville.I do not know much about his brother Ben only that he also worked on the B & O Railroad and I know nothing about their sisters.My grandmother never talked about her childhood.I think there were some bad memories there.My grandmother passed away about 7 years ago.My mom and I have done everything to find information on her family and have always come up empty handed.Please let me know how you may be related and if there is any information that you may be able to add. I look forward to hearing from you.
