Notes

• "My name is Bruce Harrington.  I married Sally Stauch, the daugher of Jack Stauch and Bess Burrell.  Her dad was Oliver Calhoon Burrell and that lineage goes back to Jean-Baptist Elzeard Burel, whom I see you have documented somewhat on Geneanet.  I have a scanned copy of a book about the Burel ancestry and decendents that I got from Bess before she died last year.  (She and Jack lived with us in Houston during their last few years.)  It was compiled by Wylodean Burrell Edwards in the late 1980's."
