I am Ej and I live in the S.E. part of the USA. Hard to imagine, but in the 5 years since I posted that, I have not discovered anything new. My Papa, is the only living relative on the Busch side that I know. He is almost 90 years old, so I better hurry up. All the Busch folks I knew, all lived in New Orleans, LA. Our family graves are there, and I visit them often. I have taken photos of all the headstones, so I'll either get those photos to you or get the info from them to you. What is your email address? Just to give you an idea of who my Grandma Busch was. I remember her as very strong and capable lady. She played the Organ in the local Episcopal Church, although didn't care for organized Religion. She also worked in a florist shop and later in my life worked in Retail, for fun. Your grandmother Elizabeth Busch, could be the Elizabeth Busch I know as my Great Grandmother. She was my Grandfather's Mother. She was born in Alsass, Lorain, France, as I recall, and will check on that. The date of 1873 sounds familiar, too. As to Great Grandfather Busch, I didn't know him personally, but everyone regarded him as a powerful man who was able to command respect. Everyone loved him and he was popular, you might say. He was a good provider, leader and family man, so he worshiped, if you will, in our family. He was truly the head of the household and the world revolved around him and his needs. My Daddy often speaks of his Grandfather Busch. They all lived together, or next door to each other, during all of Dad's life. My dad was born in 1916. I know my Grandma Busch had several sisters as I listed there, and one was Dorethea. Lets' keep up with each other and thanks for writing. Ej
