I have interest in Anastasia and Adam Butler based on my wife’s Butler genealogy.<\/p>\n

Anastasia ThruLines<\/h2>\n

One Butler researcher supposed that the father of Anastasia was George Butler. This is reflected in the ThruLines for my wife’s late Aunt Lorraine:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I am not sure how my Butler researcher friend came up with George as the ancestor. However, it appears that Henry Butler named his first son George. Adam was also a popular name. Henry mentions that George is also known as Adam in the baptismal record:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We know Adam better as George who moves to Cincinnati, Ohio.<\/p>\n

Here is Lorraine’s late sister VIrginia’s ThruLines:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Adam Butler’s Connection<\/h2>\n

Here is part of my Butler DNA Tree:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Again, I am not sure of the George at the top. That could also be an Adam Butler.<\/p>\n

I found James as a shared match with someone on the right side of the tree (not shown) named Patty. I found Marie from a match at MyHeritage. Now, if I know the first male child of Adam and the second male child of Anastasia, I may have a good guess as to who the father of Adam and Anastasia were.<\/p>\n

The Genealogy – Patrick and Will Back to Anastasia Butler<\/h2>\n

It looks like I may have not connected these trees in my Ancestry Tree. I will need to do this properly. I will create a floating tree for Patrick. Here is his tree on his paternal side:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Hanrahan (nee Butler) should be Anty or Anastasia. Perhaps the tree has been changed. I will start with Patrick’s father Will as he is a match also. I suspect the jump from England back to Ireland could be difficult. I am not easily finding records for Will’s father, so I will assume that Will knew who his grandparents were. I will accept the Ancestry hints as they are what Will has. Here is a bit of detail from the Evening Express on Adam dated 20 December 1934:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Poor Adam died at the age of 49. Here is Bootle:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here is the marriage of Adam and Bridget:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In 1901, Adam is living with his Uncle William who was a widower:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here is the previous page of the 1901 Census:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This Census leads me to believe that Richard and William were brothers and Uncles of Adam, but that also seems to contradict Adam’s wedding record.<\/p>\n

However, Will’s tree has William as Adam’s father.\u00a0Here is an 1891 Census that has a William Hanrahan with a Thomas as a father:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I do see that the Adam’s marriage record has his father as William and his mother as Margaret.<\/p>\n

In 1911, Adam is in a Royal Naval Hospital:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here is Adam in 1921:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now Adam is out of work and living in the house of his Aunt Anastasia who was born in Wexford, Ireland.<\/p>\n

Here is a birth for Adam William Hanrahan in the 2nd quarter of 1887:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The three likely siblings are:<\/p>\n
