Here is a stripped down report on Thomas Burke. It shows who was born when and which state. It sort of jibes with Lori's tree, except she has more names. This and her data show Indiana births before, during and after the Civil War (there was a lull from 12/22/1861 to 3/6/1964), and then a transition to Wisconsin somewhere around 1869.
