Have decided to get really organized (I hope) & follow the Butler Co families I'm interested in from census to census. I came up with 2 quick databases (sortable) to help ensure I don't miss any surnames when I start filling out census pages. Was fascinated by how these people are located in relation to each other from census to census & got a few surprises. I thought the info might be of some use to someone besides me. So here they are (any errors are mine):
