My Father was Albert Louis Burda born 1919. My Grandfather was Jerry Burda (his name may have been Gerald but never used for the
census)he was born in 1898. His brothers were Jessie, Lambert and Louis. He also had sisters, but I don't know their names. Jerry was the youngest. I know they came from Nebraska, then moved to MN. The Mower County census 1920 shows them. The only story I've been told is that their father raised race horses. He was shot by the local priest for not selling him his prize winning horse. His wife died shortly after. The girls married and ended up in Mandan, SD. The boys went to MN and raised my G.F. Jerry. He married Bessie and they only had 1 son, my father Albert. He died when he was 53 yrs. old, around 1971.
