Burt

Thank you for all that time you spent, I appreciate it.  I do have from  us back to 1665, but he was born in Virginia, & can't seem to get past there. I was just surprised  to find that reference to French-Huguenots, & curious about the name. I'm 74 years old, and don't know a lot about deep research, so thank you for your suggestions. D B

Hey, thanks a lot--that's fairly close to Burt, could be, it's somewhere to start, anyway. Thanks again.

Okay, sorry if I asked on the wrong site, just thinking since it was in France, someone might know the French version of the name, that's all.  .Thank you for your courtesy and time, and suggestion. Have a good day, D B

Thanks to both of you for replying.; I found the reference online & now can't re-find it, nor my printed copy at the moment; just the notes on my Family Tree Maker---it was an article which was quoting from "History of Benton, Washington, Carroll, Madison, Crawford, Franklin, and Sebastian Counties, Arkansas; Chicago: The Goodspeed Publishing Co, 1889."  It said in part, that in the biography of  Dr J.S. Burt, "his grandfather John Burt was of French-Huguenot descent, was born and reared in Virginia, ----"  Dr J S Burt was my great-grandfather's brother. We do not know who or have a date for the first of our family to leave Europe for the Colonies. The earliest we have is Richard Burt born in York Co, Virginia about 1665. But Burt did not sound French to me, so wondered if anyone might know what it might have been anglicized from. Any ideas? Daniel Burt, United States

Have learned from old biography that my  Burt ancestors were of French-Huguenot descent--what would the French name for Burt have been? Thanks
