Many of the pictures on this website were found among the effects of my grandmother, Katherine (Gamer) Burdick, and my mother, Alice (Sullivan) Burdick. Indeed, it was the discovery of these pictures that prompted the formation of this site. As you will see, some of the pictures are quite old, some not so old, and many are in very bad condition due to lying unprotected in a box for years. Some of the pictures were salvaged from negatives similarly unprotected. Unfortunately, many of the pictures were beyond salvation. The bulk of the pictures herein are of a clan of Minnesota Burdicks who settled near Forest City and Litchfield in the mid 1800s. The Sullivan family members settled in nearby Eden Valley, MN, a few years later. Many of the pictures are of people related by marriage to these two families. Many
of the older pictures were contributed by my cousins. In some cases, these
relatives were several times removed. Contact with these individuals came
through the efforts of Chuckie Blaney, who is the maternal grandmother of my granddaughter
Caitlin. Chuckie’s Herculean work, on the genealogy of this branch of the
Burdick Family, and enate families, has produced a prodigious amount of
family information, ties, and history, as well as a valuable portion of the
visual record. The collective hats of the families Burdick, Gamer, Sullivan,
Fitzpatrick, Wakefield, et al., are raised to Chuckie. Enjoy your visit. Gary
Burdick (12th Generation descendant of Robert Burdick of Rhode
Island) |

Here is an octad of 14th
generation descendants of Robert Burdick of Rhode Island. To the left is my
youngest grandchild, Elena Rose, ecstatic to be on the knee of Santa. Elena
was four years old last month. According to my daughter-in-law, Tena Burdick,
Elena was so excited that her little knees were knocking on the way up to see
Santa. The lovely young lady with the
flowers is my oldest grandchild, Caitlin Rose. Caitlin is majoring in English
at Springfield Community College, Springfield, MA; where, according to her
mother, Megan, and maternal grandmother, Chuckie Blaney (below), Caitlin is
doing quite well. She aspires to an acting career. On the stairs to the right are,
starting from the bottom, grandchildren Michael, Stephanie, James, Elizabeth,
Thomas, Samuel, their parents Wendy and my son Sean. Sean, of course, is a 13th
generation descendant of RB of RI. For information on these grandchildren, click

All photos are wonderful mementos
of Christmas, 2008. |

This is Chuckie Blaney (l.) with whom
many of you met, talked, or corresponded. It is through her research efforts
that the genealogies were compiled. Thus, Chuckie’s work revealed most of the
family names and relationships seen herein. The Hubbard line, of interest
here, descends from Oliver Alanson Hubbard, nee Burdick, who was adopted by
Hubbards upon the death of his parents, Abram Wesley and Lydia (Cain)
Burdick. Karyl is the wife of Jerry and daughter-in-law of Newell, grandson
of Oliver. |

fascinating! (3) A thumbnail
