First child and son of Christian Busch and Margaretha Berndgen. Christian came over to the US in 1852 (to Springfield, WI, and later to MN). Based on the above information, I am assuming he married Margaretha while still in Germany, and Margaretha immigrated at least 5 years later??? Does anyone have info on her immigration as well as her son Johann. It's confusing to me... perhaps Johann's birthyear should be earlier. Plus, he died awfully young - 29! Also, any information on Johann's marriages and his wives? Did he have children with them? (1) ADELADE; b. July 29, 1864; d. July 26, 1908, Scott Co., MN. Burial: St. Benedict Cemetery, Helena Twp., Scott Co., MN (2) REGINA SCHMITZ: Burial: Calvery Cemetery, Jordan, Scott Co., MN Any information is appreciated. Thanks in advance. Georgia
