Afternoon All,
I am a direct descendant of Barend Burcherdt Burger and my uncle Jacobus Burger did all the research on our lineage a few decades back. He has sadly passed but would have loved the internet and the amazing work done by on the Burger ancestry, Thank you for sharing it all here in Geni.
I started to cross reference my Uncle book on the Burger family to this website and to Wiki Family Tree. I have made a mess here in Geni and will fix it so that I don't duplicate records already made by others as I try to link my father and uncle to the family tree. I am sure to mess up the incredible hard work done by others.
Perhaps this is what Abraham has also done inadvertently! How do we communicate with him on this?
There is clear research backed with all the relevant evidence in Wiki Family tree for BB Burger and at some stage I am happy to attach documents here if that helps. ,
