I would have Meredith Busby b abt 1800 in Tn to James Busby and married to Minerva Hunt in 1826, Shelby Co., Tn. He is my gr-gr-gr-grandfather. I would ask him about the family and who was who. Why he went to Pontotoc Co., Ms with his father in the 1840's. I would ask about the way they lived back then. I would ask him who his mother was and why in the world did they name all of the children James and George W. ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: "Gaila & James Merrington" <[email protected]> Reply-To: [email protected] Date: Thu, 4 Dec 2003 07:40:48 +1100 Here is an assignment: If you could have ONE of your Busby ancestors - one you never met - for a family feast sometime this month, which ancestor would you invite? What would you hope to hear about? Later in the month - these items will be your homework: During Christmas get togethers, at Christmas Dinner and on your Christmas Cards and ask Who has old photos? Will they share so you can make a copy? Who can remember an Old story? or tradition? Where did the family Bible go? Instead of arguing about policitics over Turkey dinner, perhaps you can get some stories going about Christmases past. In January, the Busby list will want to hear your reports. The Holidays are a time to connect and I hope you are enjoying the lead up to Christmas. But do your homework!!
