Melanye, Actually that is true for a lot of the original newcomers. I believe that the Busby's were a more adventurous bunch and most did quite well at their chosen craft. Moving west gave them more opportunities. Otherwise tracing their "roots" would be very simple. Also, as in my family, the Busby sir name will die with my uncle who did not have any children and therefore does not have anyone to pass the name on to. I think that ,that is an added incentive to find out exactly where we began, (after Adam and Eve, of course:) Well I'm done rambling.
