I'm looking for all descendants of Ben Busmann and Helena Brandt, who
married on 10 febr 1880 in Evansville, IN.
Johannus Bernardus Busmann was the second husband of Helena Brandt. She had
married John Dierks (born in 1848, died 24 okt 1877), their marriage was on
8 Jan 1874. They had two daughters, Mary Catherine Dierks (1876 to 1 jan
1945), who married Francis X. Barwe (1869 to 16 May l937), their marriage
was on 29 Dec 1902. The youngest daughter, Lena Dierks (Abt 1878 to 8 feb
1941) was never married. After John Dierks died,
Helena Brandt married Johannus Bernardus Busmann - 10 Feb 1880. Their
children were:
Catherine Mary Busmann (4 Jan 1880 to 1952) married Henry Ferdinand Bauer
(1879 -1952) on 14 May 1902. They had 6 children.
Elizabeth Busmann (17 Feb 1886 to 1955) married A. L. Slavens and moved to
Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Francis Henry Busmann (10 Jan 1888 to 27 Aug 1943) never married. He was a
member of the Evansville Fire Department for 25 years.
Lena Busmann (1888 9 to ??) married Elmer Schmidt,
Cornelia Mary Busmann (21 Jul 1891 to 14 Feb 1963) married Edward Anthony
Anslinger (19 Jul 1888 to 30 Apr 1963).
I already have contact to some the Anslinger family and to one off the
descendants of Elisabeth Busmann. If you are family, please contact me. If
someone of the Barwes (Helena Brandt x John Dierks) would contact me, I
would be very glad, too)
