Burke County, North Carolina – Research Resources and Links

February 19, 2009 Tonia Kendrick

Burke County was formed in 1777 out of Rowan County and was subsequently divided into numerous additional counties.   Many of my relatives  have lived in Burke County.  My current research returns 155 individuals who lived, died, or had events in Burke County.  Common Burke County surnames from my family tree are Burgin, Curtis, Garrett, Hemphill, Lytle, McEntire, and Stroud.

I’ve put together a list of the resources that I have found helpful in researching my Burke County connections.

About Tonia

Hi, I am Tonia Kendrick. Genealogy is my hobby, my passion (those who say obsession would not be accused of crazy-talk). While I had helped my mom with genealogy as a teenager, I first caught the bug myself when computers came into the picture.

Now we are well into the 21st-century and every day brings a new genealogy adventure, whether it is a new record group to explore online or a visit to a cemetery, courthouse, or other repository. It all comes together here. Read more about Tonia's Roots or contact Tonia. Read More…
