I have a web page about the Busby Crest, at Busby Crest .
I use the GRAMPS software package for generating my genealogy reports.
GRAMPS is a free, open source genealogy psoftware package, that runs on Linux.
I use a version of Linux, as the operating system that I use; Linux Mint Mate.
GRAMPS also apparently can be installed and run on Microsoft Windows and on Apple Mac OS X,
and on FreeBSD,
and so, may be the only genealogy software package that is cross-platform -
that runs on all of these operating systems.
GRAMPS has a web
site at https://gramps-project.org/
.
I had, years ago, used Legacy Family Tree software, but Legacy does not run natively on Linux, so I stopped using it.
I have produced a basic ancestral report, which is published at Bret's Ancestral Report .
I have also been interested in researching the family history of James Busby of the New Zealand Treaty of Waitangi, and his father, John Busby from Northumberland, that John Busby being the engineer responsible for the Busby Bore, in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. My web site about that Busby line, is at JohnBusbyFamily .
I have created a web page with discussion about possible links between different known Busby lines. The web page is at possible links between lines .
In my research, because of the prospects relating to the involvement of the middle name of "Horton", in the family lines, in that I believe that the presence of that middle name, in family lines not yet proved to be linked, are likely, linked, I have included reference to other family lines that involve the use of the middle name of "Horton", for which family lines, I seek more information.
The following reports were generated using GRAMPS v4.2.0-30, and were modified to date the reports, and to insert Keyword Meta Tags (to assist searching for the names), and other refinements, using a text editor.
What information I have been able to find, about the line of Thomas and Sarah Busby, which includes Joseph Horton Busby, Henry Horton Busby, Harry Alfred Hazel Horton Busby, Gertrude Florence Busby, Victor Albert William Busby, and Charles Leonard Reginald Spencer Busby, is at Thomas and Sarah .
That information has been found by my searching on the World Wide Web, and, collating the results, and I have not verified the information.
-->I believe that these various Busby family lines, mentioned on this web page, and, other Busby family lines not mentioned here, and, families with names similar to Busby, are good reason for males with the family name, to join the Busby name genetic genealogy Y-DNA project, and undergo the Y-DNA testing, to try to find possible links between the various family lines, and, people who have Busby (or similar family name) family connections, could be interested in joining the project, and, undertaking the Family Finder test, if they are not males with the family name Busby (and, even if they are males with the family name Busby - I have taken both the Y-DNA test, and, the Famliy Finder test). More information about that genetic genealogy project, is on the Busby Genealogy web site, mentioned below.
I administer various genealogical resources, relating to the Busby family name.
One of them, is a Busby genealogy web site,
which mentions and links to other Busby name genealogical resources,
and that web site is at
http://busbygenealogy.net/ .
I can be contacted by email at Bret
