Butler Families...Our American Story
I started this journey over 20 years ago. I wanted to find out more about my grandfather's parents and grandparents. Before the internet, this was a long tedious task. I went to the Atlanta Archives and wrote to the National Archives for information and looked at microfilm and census records. The more I found out, the more fun and interesting it became. I hope you enjoy our family story. Lydia Butler Anderson
