It goes all the way back to Adolphus Busch. By reading it, I was able to determine that my father was not connected to him, at least not as far back as any connection to those who came to the US, perhaps and most likely, back in Germany. Adolphus had many children. Anyway, I found it to be a fascinating book which you might enjoy. Good luck.
