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!
