Hi, I have Busby's in MN. Last known in 2870 in Dodge Co--that is directly west of Rochester, MN and not all that far from the IA border. Afred S. Busby and family lived there for ?? have not traced them further. Contact me personally and we will try to see if there is any connection. Alfred was born in KY as was his wife , some of the children. Other children born in IN and MN. I am a direct desc. of his oldest son. Do you have a death cert for Richard telling the names of his parents?
