There are a few Michael Busch names floating around out there. There is a lot of information on US immigration records which may help you and they were well documented when they landed in USA. I live in Canada and there doesn't seem to be as much information. I have been able to find some info in Germany, if you can pinpoint where your guy came from. A lot of Germans made their way to England and came over from there, so their ship was listed as departing from an English port, which can throw you off. However, most, or a lot of them came through Ellis Island, and since you know the year, you should be OK looking there. Good luck.
