Busath-Cheever Archive

The Busath-Cheever Archive serves as a repository for family related documents, histories, photographs, videos, and other materials to share with all descendants of Christian Bersvendsen Busath and Agnes Abigail Cheever.  The Busath-Cheever Archive is stored on the Permanent.org platform managed by the Permanent Legacy Foundation, a mission-driven, 501(c)(3) nonprofit, cultural heritage organization, just like a library, museum, university, or faith-based organization.

The Busath-Cheever Archive will grow as additional discoveries are made. As of the end of 2024, the Archive contained

  • two short, animated histories of Christian and Agnes,
  • a 272-page History, entitled “Christian Bersvendsen Busath and Agnes Abigail Cheever Family History,”
  • a Contemporary Sources folder holding 846 contemporaneous documents, photographs, newspaper articles, vital records, and other items obtained from multiple sources,
  • a History folder holding 79 non-contemporaneous histories and other publications of interest to the family, and
  • a Norwegian Genealogical Research folder holding 34 items to assist in Norwegian genealogical research. 

All items in the Archive are labeled with a Custom Metadata ID Code.  The ID Code is used as a reference citation in the History, and an Appendix of Citations provides a description of each item with its ID Code.  Items in the Archive may be retrieved by searching for the ID Code or a word in the description.  For example, a search for “Elsie” would retrieve items that refer to “Elsie” in their description.  Items in the Archive’s folders may also be browsed.

Items in the Archive may be downloaded for non-commercial family history purposes.  All other rights are reserved.
