Born in Whitby Township in what is now Ontario - Died at 1272 E 67th St in Chicago
Her father Henry Butson was born 1831 at Bodelva in the parish of St. Blazey, Cornwall. His parents brought the family from Cornwall to Canada in 1840 or 1841. Emma is my 2nd great grandmother.
Welcome!
This is also the database for the Guild of One-Name Studies Butson Surname Project, so that there are many Butsons in the database with no documented relation to me.
This updload is from my master version on Ancestry as of 30 Nov 2022. It contains 9,795 individuals in 2,908 families with 4,590 media files.

GENEALOGICAL DNA TESTING: If you are or are related to a male with the Butson surname and are interested in DNA testing, please click the "Info" pulldown and then "Contact Us" to send me an e-mail about joining these DNA projects. You can also view the Butson Surname Y-DNA Project website. We very much need a Y-DNA test of a Butson direct male line descendant of the Braunton, North Devon, Butsons.
Note that for dates prior to the 1752 conversion from the old style calendar that used March as the month in which years changed to the new style calendar in which the year changes January 1, I use the new style dates, since there are calculations being done with those dates, but I do try to note the fact of both the old and new style date in the notes for the event.
