This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Ziesemann, Ziesman, Busch Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.busch/373.6.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: All that I know about Alice Ziesemann is her birth and death date, and that she married August A. Busch, Sr. -- I also have the names of Alice and August's children, but their surnames would be Busch (not Ziesemann). Therefore I would not be able to help you figure out how her maiden name went from Ziesemann to Ziesman. Perhaps she had a brother who eventually changed the spelling of this particular surname? But I do not have the information on Alice's siblings. Sorry I couldn't help you... Pam Ell - email: pamandsirius@msn.com
