Yes, I am definitely interested in sharing info about the Butmans. I believe that Alexander Butman, b 1805 may have been the father of my John Turner butman b 1825 in Otsego Co, NY

John's death certificate says that his father was "Alexander Butman" but I can find no record of him in any census, so I am gathering that he may have
a. escaped the censuses
b. moved
c. perhaps not been married when he had his son?? but their names are both Butman,
d. may be using his middle name when his first name was something else.
Can you think of any other possibilties?

Have you done your DNA testing? It would be interesting if we had people comparing DNA who were descended from Butmans.
Write me!!
