Barbara Burney

  Research Notes:

NOTE: As can be seen reviewing the research notes, Barbara Burney, was married at least 5 times. All of the Ancestry Family Trees have only partial information or record many individuals as 'private', and because of this it is very hard to develop an accurate modified chronological list for her.

I have not been able to determine all of the dates or locations of her marriages. It has also been difficult to find evidence of her children. I have been able to determine 2 of her children. She may have had 2 more children, but they are not identified.

I have chosen to not record her marriages or her children on my Legacy Database. It is clear that more research will be needed:
- 1950 US Census
- additional newspaper archives [ newspapers.com does not have any detail on Richland or Kennewick WA; nor Lebanon, Linn Co, OR]
- possibly over time, more family researchers will identify more information.
