Note: The website hasn't been updated much lately. We now have moved and built our log home on top a mountain in Nickelsville, VA. Life has thrown out some tuff cards to play. Things have calmed down enough to start working on genealogy once again!

- This page shows you what's in the book, who's in the book and how to order one. This page has the "Family Names" file. 11/29/03 - Since our move down here I have not been able to find a printer to copy and put the books together for less than $52.00 each. If anyone is still interested I would be willing to get a copy made and mail to you. The postage should be about $6.00. We live 50 miles away from a printer source so only serious inquiries should apply. The book is almost 300 pages and weighs about 4-5 lbs.

- This is part 1 of the diary of Edwin Welsh Bush, grandson of Capt. Billy Bush. The diary covers the day by day account of Edwin's travels to and from Texas from 1852-1853. There are many names mentioned in the diary. For interesting notes on his father, Willis Allen & Edwin's brother, Elkanah - do a search for their names.
