Hello Edward,
Sorry it took so long to back to you. My wife posted this query on my behalf. Both of us have been working on our family trees for the past few years. This one part of my tree has been very hard to find information on. My name is Christopher Burns, born in 1964 to Connie Van Hoose. Shortly after that, I was adopted by the Burns family. Connie and I have reconnected after all these years and has filled in the gaps the bes that she can. She knows that my biological father's name was Richard Sowards, born in Columbus Ohio around 1947. Some of the other names that I believe are associated with him are: Thomas Ray Sowards b. 1945-1983 we believe is Richards, father. Another name is Ray Sowards d. 1972, not sure of his birth, is Richard's grandfather we think. C Virginia Bennett we believe is Richard's Mother, born 1910 Died 1988. The other name is
Sharon S Dennison b. 1945 who I found married Richard L Sowards in 1992 with a marriage certificate. Let me know if any of these names sound familiar. There could be a blood relation.
Thank you,
Christopher Burns
