About This Site
This website serves as a comprehensive genealogical record and historical narrative that traces the lineage and lived experiences of the Price and Burr families across several generations and continents. By intertwining personal family milestones—such as births, marriages, and legal land transactions—with major geopolitical events like the American Civil War and the Cold War, the text provides a vivid context for the individual lives of ancestors like Abner Buckner Price and Alexander Burr.
The structure moves from the ethnic origins of the families in Europe to their eventual settlement in Virginia and Canada, highlighting a multigenerational transition from agricultural labor to professional roles in government and medicine. Ultimately, the work functions as a historical biography intended to preserve the family's heritage by illustrating how their private stories were shaped by the broader social and political forces of their time.
