Kent Burbank

I see your great grandfather - Charles A. Burbank - married a second time (in 1923) to my great-aunt Grace Spearman. Their union produced no offspring. Although not your blood relative, I have several pictures of Grace. Some group photos, taken in Nebraska in 1938, may show your granddad.

Grace's sister Bertha Spearman was married to Albion Burbank, brother of Charles. They had four children, three of whom lived to be adults.

Contact me if you would like to know more.

Dave Snyder - grandson of Lyall Spearman (brother to Grace Spearman Burbank and Bertha Spearman Burbank)

You recently disconnected an Unknown Burbank from her parents and recycled the ID to be for a person of the opposite sex. Please review the Recycling Wiki ID help page to understand why this shouldn't be done and what to do if you come across more profiles like that one in the future.

Thanks,

Debi

PS. Please avoid the use of abbreviations as they can mean different things in different countries, always use the full words

Thanks for taking the Pre-1700 Quiz. As Pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants, working within a project is essential

Please ensure locations are entered on all profiles and data matches dates of profile. Avoid abbreviations, add sources with citations & links for sources to support the data. From wiki ID go to Research to find sources, please review this page https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Pre-1700_Profiles#Cite_reliable_sources

Thank you for upgrading, 😊

I am very pleased to welcome you to the WikiTree family, your contributions will go a long way to joining the world together.

It is best to start with the New Member How-To pages, they will save you a lot of time and frustration.

I am here to answer any question you have, no matter how trivial you may think it is. There is no such thing as a silly question. Please add as much information as you can, it all helps to turn a “name” back into a person. I hope you enjoy the site as much as I do.

Thank you for adding your DNA Test information to your profile on WikiTree. Your information will be propagated to the profiles of your parents and your ancestors within about 24 hours of being added. It will also propagate to the profiles of the descendants of your ancestors, so they may see your information under the heading "DNA Connections" just as you can see theirs.

Getting started with DNA outlines how to proceed to use your DNA test information on WikiTree and DNA is a link to a collection of links about WikiTree's many features involving DNA.

The DNA Connections list on your profile will provide a visual way for you to find potential relatives on WikiTree who have also added their DNA test information. Using DNA tools at sites like GEDMatch.com, if you find a relative that matches your DNA sufficiently and you have genealogical sources for the intermediate relationships, you can mark the specific parental relationships back to the most recent ancestor that you both share as "confirmed with DNA." For details, guidance, and examples of how to properly document DNA confirmations, see DNA confirmation.

To get the best results, begin adding sourced profiles for your ancestors until you can connect to ancestors already in WikiTree. If you have exhausted what you know on one line, it can sometimes help to add what you know on another line. The more branches you are able to add the greater the likelihood of finding potential cousins to match with. The process of identifying which branch elements of DNA relate to will better enable you to find matches that relate to the particular branches you are researching.

Happy tree climbing
