Busig, perhaps cousins. Both were born in Hannover, Germany. Records show both their names were spelled Büsig in Germany. According to Diane Decker, Charlotte "Lottie" Buesig Grummert is the sister of Lena Sophia Buesig Grummert. The sisters married the Grummert brothers. Lena's name is spelled as Büsig per the German immigration records (1882 when Lena was 17). In the old country the name was spelled as Büsig, and when the Büsig's immigrated to the new world, they called themselves either Busig or Buesig. After searching the http://aidaonline.niedersachsen.de/ site for the Büsig name, I found the following record of an emmigration. It appears Lena emigrated to America in 1882 when she was 17 years old. 1. Büsig, Lina, Laatzen 2. 20. 10. 1866, Hannover 3. Dienstmagd 5. in Hannover lebende Eltern 7. Amerika 8. 1882 translated: 1. Büsig, Lina, Laatzen 2. 20. 10. 1866, Hannover 3. Maid 5. Parents live in Hannover 7. America 8. 1882 ----- On February 18, 1897 in the USA, Charlotte Buesig married Hermann Friedrich Wilhelm Grummert who was born March 20, 1874 in Holzhausen, Luebbecke, Westfalen, Preussen. They lived in Nebraska and had children: Ernst Fritz George Grummert b: 6 DEC 1897 Nora Maria Wilhelmine Grummert b: 26 OCT 1899 Emil Wilhelm August Grummert b: 11 APR 1901 in Plymouth, Jefferson County, Nebraska Edwin Fritz Grummert b: 27 NOV 1902 in Plymouth, Jefferson County, Nebraska George Ernst Johann Grummert b: 9 JAN 1905 Normann Wilhelm Heinrich Grummert b: 25 JUL 1906 Hilda Lina Karolina Grummert b: 15 SEP 1910 SOURCE OF ABOVE: Young Family History and related lines Notice: The above source shows Charlotte Buesig Grummert's parents to be August Busig and Rosine Arberg. This is wrong. They are mixing up this Charlotte Buesig who was born on July 26, 1874 (birth date per her tombstone) in Hanover with a Charlotte Büsig who was born on Nov. 26, 1874 (birth date per church records) in Hanover to August Busig and Rosine Arberg. August Busig's daughter Charlotte married on October 14, 1899 in Hanover to Johann Gonswa and lived her life in Germany. Charlotte Buesig married on February 18, 1897 in the US to Hermann Friedrich Wilhelm Grummert and lived her life in Nebraska. There were two different people named Charlotte Busig (Buesig). Here our are sources: An International Genealogical Index Individual Record of a christening (found at www.familysearch.org) shows a Johann Heinrich August Wilhelm Büsig (spelled with two dots over the "u" in Busig) married to a Sophie Charlotte Dorothee Rosine Ahrberg having a child named Mathilde Caroline Charlotte Büsig who was born 26 NOV 1874 at Hannover Stadt, Hannover, Preussen. Christened 26 DEC 1874 at Hannover Stadt, Hannover, Preussen. FamilySearch.org has a record for a Charlotte Caroline Mathilde Büsig who was married on October 14, 1899 in Linden Stkr, Linden, Hannover, Preussen to a Johann Gonswa. The Linden area of Hanover is where August Büsig and his family lived. August Büsig's family attended the St. Martin's Luthern Church in the Linden section of Hanover, Germany. Church records of the family are available.o Some links: Charlotte "Lottie" Grummert gravestone and grave site - http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSln=Buesig&GSiman=1&GSbyrel=in&GSdyrel=in&GSob=n&GRid=54285518&df=all& Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
