We were saddened during the Christmas season by the loss of our cousin Jeanne Marie, the first grandchild of Harry and Ella Burlington.

"to behold the wonder of this amazingly beautiful tot, "Joseph Novello Burlington,"

new grandson to both our families, was truly a sacred moment for us all, "liminal" to say the least, where the veil between heaven and earth, is wafer thin.

A new Joseph Burlington in the world!

archive updates

Patsy Madden sent us a picture of the Burlington brick that was donated to Rosemont College. The brick contains the names of all the Burlington girls who went to Rosemont: Alice, Mary, Pam and Patsy.

Jeffrey Keahon sent in a wonderful picture of Alice and Arthur Somers and their wedding party, on the boardwalk in Belmar NJ. Jeff's mother Ethel Keahon was Alice's sister and beautiful Matron of Honor. My father's younger brother Edward Somers was Best Man. Click on this link and scroll to the bottom of the page to see the picture: http://burlingtonfamily.com/EBK/family.html

Deep thanks to Cousin Bob Burlington, a benefactor who has very generously donated a state-of-the-art scanner to the blog. Bob says the following:

Your work on the family blog has brought our family heritage to life. I feel strongly about making some contribution to your efforts.  I think the Blog is a great thing and I hope it floats in cyberspace forever. Eventually, I hope to get back to geneology. Right now I'm working full time with a side business and have little time for anything.  Hopefully, I will be able to join the ranks of the retired in 2014 (when I'm 66). I look forward to an ever expanding Blog, and as I promised, I will find some pictures and other items of interest for the "Arthur" section.

Bob Burlington

I look forward to working with Bob on future projects!

Do you have news to share with the family? If so, please send it in, along with any pictures. Also, we're short on dates, so if you can provide any birth dates, wedding dates or death dates, as well as corrections to any of the pages, please email them to:

news@burlingtonfamily.com

Happy New Year, Burlingtons!

Not only has our blog been revamped, but the Burlington Family Archive has also been totally reorganized! It now contains a site for each branch of the Burlington family -- for each child of Ella and Harry J. Burlington -- Arthur, Joe, Ethel, Bill, Walter and Alice. When people from each of those branches contribute pictures or stories, they will initially go on the pages for their branch, so the contributor gets credit for them, then eventually they will get merged into the section where they belong. There are also separate links to special family events such as weddings, funerals and reunions.
