I am wondering how far back you have gone, with your BUSBY line, and, whether you can explain the use of your name, Michael? My reason for asking this, is that, in previous generations of my BUSBY line, the name Michael has featured, and I wonder whether any possible link may exist. I do not know what has been the commonality of the name Michael, as a personal name, but I reason that where a possibility of a link may occur, it is worth investigating. >From your message above, I have no idea of in which country you are, and therefore, the probability of a possible link, but I think it worh asking, due to the chance, however remote, of a possible link. Thank you in anticipation. -- Bret Busby Armadale West Australia ..............
