A reminder that the name study should not be put on every Borden/Burden profile, you can use a surname search for finding those. Only put it on profiles of special interest such as immigrants and dead-ends. Also include the famous and infamous.

Members include:

Barbara (Klein) Mills who says

"Virtually anyone who has a surname of Borden, Burden, Bourdon or similar names should be able to trace their ancestry to spelling of Robergia and Francis Bourdon in France in the 1100's and back as far as Francis DeBourdon for whom I don't have any dates but he was father to Peter DeBourdon born in 1135 in Borden, Kent, England...You would find you are connected to the Borden Dairy family and yes to famous Lizzie Borden believed to be a crazy ax murderer said to have murdered her parents in their home among other famed people. In my family, I descend thru Richard Borden married to Mary Walker Earle who's daughter Hope married into the Merrihew family in 1695 in Dartmouth, Bristol, Massachusetts and my Merrihew line continued all the way til my great grandmother married a McLane in 1888 in New York."

Becky Stokley Hayes (Rigdon) who connects to Sarah Borden (1692 - 1762)

Lisa (Mitchell) Valdez who connects to George Burden (1814)

Jeanette Rogers who connects to Jean Bourdon (abt. 1610 - bef. 1647)

Sue Hall who just thought this would be a way to harness Burden/Burden energy, descends from Richard Borden Sr (1596 - 1671) thru Mathew Borden

Note Richard goes back to Edmund Borden (abt. 1480 - 1539)

Having been connected by the facebook group by two different members, Facebook group known as The Borden / Burden Family connections https://www.facebook.com/groups/343276272543521/ facebook message: "We have researched the descendants of Richard Borden 1595-1671 who came here from Kent England, James Campbell Burden, born in New Jersey 1740-1806 and died in the State of Kentucky. We’ve also connected the Scottish Campbell family who were members of the Lamont Clan. Included in our group are descendants of Archibald Burden 1745 of the Southern States after the Revolutionary war, and married Hannah Goad. We also have members from outside the USA, such as Australia and Canada"

Here are some of the tasks that I think need to be done. I'll be working on them, and could use your help.

• Connecting unconnected Borden/Burdens
• Providing Sources for Borden/Burdens
• Sharing resources for Borden/Burdens such as

• Weld, Hattie. Historical and Genealogical Record of the Descendants, as far as known, of Richard and Joan Borden (H.B. Weld, Los Angeles, Calif., 1899)
