Seeking records of Abraham Burno

Patricia Seymour Oct 22, 2019 1:45 PM

My father was Muriel Russell Burno, his father was James Charles Burno and my great great Grandfather was Abraham Burno. We know that Abraham Burno fought in the Civil War from 1861-1865 as a private for the Union Army in the 17th Michigan Infantry Regiment. I was told by my father that my Grandfather was originally from Sicily but when we have made inquiries, it seems the immigrant ancestor goes further back. We thought it might have been Abraham but it seems he was born in Michigan or Chicago so obviously he is not the immigrant. I want to know if there is anything written down as to whether Abraham Burno came from Sicily or his father before him. We have run out of places to ask this question.

Dear Ms. Seymour,

Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!

We searched the Access to Archival Databases (AAD) and located a database titled Italians to America Passenger Data File, 1855 - 1900 but did not locate any records for an Abraham Burno or James Charles Burno or others with the surname Burno.

However, we also searched Ancestry and located All Passenger Results for the Surname Burno; All Birth, Baptism & Christening Results for James Charles Burno; and an Ohio Marriage Record for James Charles Burno that lists his father Abraham. There may be a fee for using Ancestry. Instead, you may view these records online at one NARA's facilities for free via a NARA PC. For the nearest NARA location, please consult our web page at https://www.archives.gov/locations/. Also, some of the images from Ancestry are available for free on Family Search at https://www.familysearch.org/en/.

You may wish to use Family Search’s Italy Online Genealogy Records and/or
5 Uncommon Places to Find Your Ancestors’ Missing Parents for tips and additional resources in order to expand your research.

We hope this is helpful. Best of luck with your family research!

Hello, I have the same surname and my father have the same and his grandfather have the same. They all are from Poland and Burno isn't a popular surname in Poland. And I also want to know more information about this surname that is special, somewhere I have read that the surname Burno comes from Italy but I have no idea. I hope maybe this will gave you a little information. You should visit this site for some more information: https://forebears.io/surnames/burno
