I have nothing more on these family groups. They were used as my research notes. I just finished transcribing them tonight and wanted the Butler Mailing List to have the info.

Please use as a guide only... some info is from the 1970's.

I have been ill and in hopes I can transcribe material I have to leave for others to use. Please share it with anyone needing it, and feel free to repost it as needed.
