    3. Hi Bob: The connection between the Bush and Fay lines is well-documented. If you go to www.genforum.com and get the Bush Family Genealogy Forum, go to Message #860, posted 27 June 1999 by Charles Bush. He cites the LDS records as a source. Here is how the Bush and Fay lines intersect: Former President George Herbert Walker Bush is the son of Prescott Sheldon Bush (1895-?). George's grandfather was Samuel Prescott Bush (4 OCT 1863 - 8 FEB 1948). George's great grandfather was James Smith Bush (15 JUN 1825 - 11 NOV 1889), who married Harriet Eleanor Fay. Therefore, President Bush's great-grandmother on his father's side was a Fay. I am not a genealogist, and have no files or records, so I'm afraid I won't be of much help with requests. But the Fay line does intersect three or four American presidents, as well as Harriet Beecher Stowe. Perhaps an accomplished Fay researcher can show you the exact links. Best of luck in your search, Phil Palen
