Werner, My great-great grandmother was Suzanne Baustert from Meysembourg, Luxembourg, who immigrated to the USA in 1846. I'm curious as to whether most of the Baustert familes originally came from Baustert, Germany. Or is it just a coincidence?

They asced me to tell them in a report something about the emigration of this parish to USA ore somewhere else.=20 The towns of this parish are Baustert, Berghausen, Brimingen, Feilsdorf, Hisel, Huetterscheid, Muelbach, Tempelhof and Neumuehle.=20 Here=B4s my problem: My collection of emigrants from this parish is very small. I know about only one member from this list, Jim Ross. He has Wagner ancestors from Muelbach that went to Arcansas/USA, I hope this is correct Jim. Are there some other connections that will be of interst to tell the people of Baustert parish, perhaps emigrants, genealogical data. I would be glad to get some further information about emigrants from the parish of Baustert. back in the list with best wihes Werner LICHTER
