In the Social Security records there is a Theresa Kusk who was born 4 Oct. 1911 and died 16 April 1999. The SSN was issued in Michigan. Death residence is Marysville, Saint Clair, Michigan. I cannot state if this person is married or not but the first name you refer to below Tesia, may be Teresa. This person born in 1911 may have some sort of a connection. A long shot but worth a try. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Elaine O'Neill" <elaineoneill1948@gmail.com> To: <PRUSSIA-ROOTS@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, May 29, 2007 8:04 PM Subject: [PRUSSIA-ROOTS] Kusc - Marquadt >I sent to Michigan for my Great-grandmother's death certificate. > Rather than it answering some questions it's only creating more. > Partly because of the handwriting on the original record, and partly > because of conflicting information. > > I was hoping for a definite birth location, but only got "Germany". > On well.

As much as I appreciate all the effort you put into the searches, and I really do appreciate it, I think I must not have been very clear. Those with the surnames, Kusc, Bruchesci and Marquardt did not immigrate......these, to the best of my knowledge stayed in Germany/Prussia. That would explain why my grandfather may not be accurate on his mother's family name. Thank you so much for trying so hard for me.

I would not automatically discount others, with the same unusual surname, who may have immigrated. Sometimes the immediate relatives didn't immigrate, but some cousins did. You can get great clues if you check into the cousins as well. Obviously this tactic wouldn't work so well for the bunch that are researching S(c)hul(t/d)(z)(e). ;) Kathy www.Kiva.org - loans that change lives.
