Greetings,

I work for Geni and we were contacted by a family member who's NOT on Geni, with the following correction for your consideration:

George Henry Busby, son of Albert Napoleon Busby, is my [relative], and he did not marry the woman specified on that web page, and, did not father the children that he is claimed on that web page, to have fathered.

The information published on that web page, relates to a different George Henry Busby, whose parents are not Albert Napoleon Busby and Martha Brinlay.

This is shown by the relevant documentation, which the publisher of the information, clearly did not obtain in order to validate the information. [Note the person who contacted us did not provide or name which relevant documentation to which he refers]

If you need help splitting the wife and kids from this profile, just let me know and I'll be happy to assist.

Kind regards,

Mike at Geni

Hello again,

As no one has responded to this message and there are no sources proving that the son of Albert and Martha is the husband of Mary Jane Capil, I'm going to honor the family members' correction and split Mary Jane and the kids from this George.

Kind regards,

Mike at Geni
