Buracker / Buroker /Boraker and Spitler along with the Page County Ancestral Maze

Buracker / Buroker / Boraker / Burker
and Spitler Genealogy

The main line is Buracker which changed to Buroker and Boraker as they moved to Ohio, Indiana and Wisconsin, Iowa, Washington, Oregon and other parts of the US. A few have changed to Burker in VA and MD

The Spitler line was followed as a favor to my Aunt Mae Buracker who married Cleve Spitler. Many other lines were followed which fed into these lines. Most of the individuals lived in what is now Page County, Virginia.

From doing this genealogical research, I have come to the conclusion that most family lines that resided in Page County in the 1800's have become related to one another and are all part of "The Page County Ancestral Maze".
