Burt Family Genealogy Forum
  
I think we may have a match.It is very possible that the middle initial from my grandmothers tree is incorrect. I have found another discrepany in another part of her tree. The birth year falls right in line with my estimate as shown in the other forum note. My grandmother and her parents lived in Lowell, Michigan. Lowell is in and on the edge of Kent County now, but it is possible that at that time it could have been called Livingston County. I donated a 1920 Kent County road map to the historical society at the Grand Rapids Public Library last year. I remember that many roads and even towns were different as opposed to today. I can certainly check into this. My grandmother recently passed away. My mother has all of her records and photos. I was already planning on going over there this week to look at them to see if I could find any more information that is not on her tree. To finish the lineage as shown on the other forum note, my grandmother, Bernice Lee, was married to John VanWingen Jr. They had a daughter named Sharon VanWingen who is my mother. I don't have any records yet beyond Benjamin Burt and Marinda Underhill so I cannot validate Nathaniel Burt or Rhoda and Peter Waterbury. I am planning on searching familytreemaker onlie tomorrow to see if I can find any links. Sorry this message is long. I got really excited. Thanks, Scott Crowley Grand Rapids, Michigan
