This is the second edition of The Chicago Burhop Family book. It includes new research on the Burhop family back eight generations in Germany to Gerke Burhop (Buhrhoep) who was born in the mid Sixteenth Century. The book now covers eleven generations of the Chicago Burhop family. There have been substantial additional details and pictures incorporated into the original five generations covered in the first book. It is the story of the Chicago Burhops' immigration from Germany to Illinois desiring a better life in the new world. It is the story of the successful advancement of that family in three generations from poverty to prosperity. It is hoped the research and documentation for this project will give the descendants of Herbert Burhop and his brothers, Edwin and Henry and sister Lucille, some knowledge and background of their roots. There are now fifteen generations of Chicago Burhops since the birth of Gerke Burhop in 1550. Perhaps this book will provide those Chicago Burhops additional understanding of their ancestors.
