WHAT'S THE PURPOSE OF ALL THIS?

Wesley Johnston, has given me the opportunity of continuing his extensive research of the Butson family name for which he labored for over 20 years.  (Archives of Butson Family Newsletter - By Wesley Johnson) 

Using all the power of the Internet and all the Butson netizens out there.....maybe, together, we can crack this case and finally track down not only the origin of Ensign Butson, Revolutionary Soldier Wheelas Butson, Solomon, Cecil and the Canadian Butsons but the source of each country's Butsons and ultimately nail down the origin of our "rare" name.

As the days go by, I will endeavor to upload data to this site that I have received from Wesley Johnston's Butson Newsletters, email, personal research and other information I have on the Australian, New Zealand, South African, Hungarian, U.S. and British Butson lineage.  So....check back often and stay in touch.

By the way....there is no charge for anything on this site, no commercials, banners, aggravating ads or hidden agendas.  

This website is a non-profit endeavor to assist, as best we can, in furthering the initial work of Wesley Johnston.  We hope it will help bring Butson descendants together in one forum, with a common goal of creating complete, historically accurate, and lasting genealogical records for our children and grandchildren.   

I hope you will join me in this search for and review of our ancestral past.  

Last, but not least....many thanks and warm regards to Mr. Wesley Johnston for the great work he has done on "The Butson Family Newsletter" (1979 - 1998) and all he has done to further our knowledge and to bring the World - Wide Butson family together.
