Greetings; This is my first time here. I am seeking information on my Büscher line who may have come to Texas in 1853. My ggfather was Ernst Heinrich Büscher born in 1839 in Hustädte, Kreis Wittlage, Hannover.(This village is near Osnaubruck in northwestern Germany). He and his wife Marie came to Cleveland in 1864 and then on to Minnesota in 1868. One of his uncles was named Johann Heinrich Büscher, born 5 Oct 1811 also in Hustädte. Johann alone with his 2nd wife Marie Elisabeth came to America in 1852/53 along with their 4 children. This is the entry from "Germans to America" I am think this is his family - 7 Jun 1853: Arrived at New York from Bremen on the "Bessel". Last Residence was Hustaede. Final destination was Pittsburgh. Buscher, Heinrich, aged 40, a farmer Buscher, Maria Elisab. aged 50 Buscher, Carl Wilh., aged 16 Buscher, Heinr., aged 14 Buscher, Ernst Heinr. aged 10 There are no records on the 1880 Federal census of Buescher's in PA so they must have moved on right away...perhaps to Texas?? Thank you for any help, Lee in snowing Wisconsin
