Opis

Focusing mainly on the Burrises of Amite County, Mississippi, and
the Florida Parishes of Louisiana, this examination offers a mother lode of
information for genealogists researching the Burris line, which may include
such family names variations as Burroughs, Burrows, Burrus, Burruss, Burress,
and Burriss. Much more than a tale of who begat whom, this volume provides
helpful insight into the nature of the family.
By their fellow men, the Burrises are usually highly regarded.
They are considered reliable, trustworthy, and honest. They also are known for
their fair play. One of the highest tributes the author ever heard paid their
character came from a former district attorney, who remarked that, whenever he
had a case to come before a jury and there were Burris men present, he always
accepted them without a single question.
