My family is looking for the children of Betty Jo Kerr Burks. Lynn was born at the end of 1958 or beginning of 1959. Monty( or Montie) Jr. was born a year or two later.

Due to mental illness, Betty Jo gave up custody of the kids when they were very small. We believe the dad, Monty Burks Sr., raised them in California.

Betty Jo Kerr was from Texas originally.

Burks may be spelled Burkes or just Burk. We've seen it spelled different ways and aren't sure of the correct spelling.

Our family has been searching for many years for our long lost family members. Please respond if you have any knowlege of the two.

Thanks so much.

Woohoo ! I hope it works out well for you all. And, HappyNCGirl, a big thumbs up for staying connected enough to this website/forum that the response got to you. A lot post one time and go away, never to be heard from again.

Please let us know if it was a match and how it turned out, good or bad. I know, we all need to get a life (:biggrin) but, we do appreciate a return post.

Thanks AnnieA. It's looking really good that this is the break the family has been seeking for over 40 years.
