Our Purpose
Welcome to Bush Family History! This is a place to discover your ancestors and connect with relatives.
Our mission is to celebrate our family in three ways:
Context
Provide the bigger picture so you know who and where you came from.
Preservation
Document our family's history so we don't lose or forget it.
Guidance
Gain wisdom and insight from the life experiences of our ancestors.

"I grew up knowing very little about the history of my family. The few details I did have I later found out were probably not accurate. Both my mom and dad struggled to tell me stories about where their ancestors came from.
Then about ten years ago, I realized if I didn't do anything about it, I would never know my heritage and would never have a family legacy to leave to my kids when I'm gone. So I set out to do this work and have thoroughly enjoyed it. The resources on this site represent many hours sifting through courthouse archives, finding online clues, walking battlefields, consulting with experts and traveling to remote places in other states.
My sincere hope is that you have as much fun learning about our family as I have had researching it."
