I'm a member of the Butler Name Study but, we all know that common surnames, like Butler, are enormously populated.  I think it's useful to divide such studies in various way to make them more manageable in interesting; with someone coordinating the larger, umbrella project.  So, I'm breaking out a Butler Name Study in New York State.  I have a brick wall there that may be solved by working on such a study.  I can certainly use some help.  Come and join.

Yes, I have Butler's in my tree from NY. I have been able to trace back to Peter Butler (1818-1869) & Jershua Dunn (1824-unk) from Clifton Park, Saratoga County, NY. Peter is my 3rd Great Grandfather. Peter > Byron (1855-1926) > John Henry (1892-1966) > John Bernard (1912-1978)
