But there were so many Busch relatives it's hard to say for sure. Jacob's oldest son was Andreas b 1788. His grandson Jacob Wilhelm b 1808 had a very large family (2 wives and 18 children) and many of them immigrated to the US. Thousands have descended from Jacob Wilhelm. Our family descended from Jacob's son, Johann Phillip another branch. Then his son Michael, then my grandmother, Rose Busch. She was born in Austria and immigrated to Canada in 1900. She later married and her family came to the US in 1923. It is very interesting tracing this family. Mary
