Genealogy - Ella M. BUTLER (1886-1976)

Image
Ella M. BUTLER Ella M. Butler is my Great Aunt; we knew her as Aunt Nell. My sister, Ellen Mary is named after our Aunt Nell. Ella recalls her childhood "When I was a little girl I raced through the front door and called 'Mom' at the top of my voice. She was always there and I couldn't talk fast enough to tell her all the things that had happened to me during the day." Just four years after the a ssassination  of Presiden t Lincoln, Ella M But ler was born in May 1886 to Anna (nee Kenney) age 28 and Phillip Butler age 30 where the family lived in Orleans County, New York; a stone’s throw from Niagara Falls.

Passages - Why I Preserve Family History

I began my journey, my passage through time, in 1994 when Aunt Arlene gifted me my 2Xs great-grandfather Michael Kenney's Naturalization Papers from 1857. I spent countless hours in the basement of the Latter Day Saints Church looking through thousands of indexed documents not knowing where this journey would take me. My desire to solve mysteries is a huge part of my passion for genealogy. I do genealogy for many reasons. One is my curiosity about our ancestors. I found I needed more than just names and dates. I needed a sense of place, a sense of their surroundings; the people and events that made up their lives. Over the years I learned that time is precious and our stories will fade with time. Passages introduces you to each of our immigrant ancestors; those who first stepped on U.S. soil. It's their journey, their passage to the New World, where the story begins. Our ancestors, through their choices, insights and courage, made possible the way we live today. They deserv...
