GenConnect Query Forum: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ne/Butler If you are an "old hand" at Butler Co. genealogy, please consider posting one or more queries, so "new hands" can get acquainted with you and your surnames. Consider it a kind of advertising. With the new Rootsweb changes, I believe we can expect some increase of activity. I am sure the number of queries can be a drawing card. This query forum is available from two places on the Butler Co. home page also. I have tried to make it difficult to miss. The 1998 queries were moved to GenConnect and the prior posters were asked to repost to GenConnect--most did not do this--so I l have the older queries still available from the homepage. All the surnames are visible in Surname Helper, which has an icon on the Butler homepage and linked to the source query or document. Please consider posting obits, deeds (patents), bios, etc. on the other boards. 500 years from now we will need your information (grin). Encourage your friends and cousins, encourage them to post also. Suggestions for improving the Butler homepage are welcome at anytime.
