Hello Lee,
the emigrants list of Lingen county shows two Büscher:
Hermann Franz August Büscher, Born 3.May 1849 Ramsel/Baccum, Ackermann (farmhand), emigrated 1871, parents: Neubauer (ne farmer) Franz Henrich Büscher and Margaretha Aleidis Varelmann
Heinrich Büscher from Neuenhaus, emigrated 1871 , no further data
Lingen county was former a part of the Kindom of Hannover.

Werner;
Thank you for the B�scher lookup. I'm not sure why my ggf listed both
Prussia in 1870 and Hanover in 1880 on US census forms? My ggf Ernst
Heinrich B�scher was born 1837-38. His wife Marie Louisa (no maiden name)
born 26 Dec 1840. They were married in Germany and then emmigrated from
Bremen and arrived New York 7 Oct 1864 aboard the ship Orpheus with
Cleveland as their destination. Ernst was Lutheran. First child,
Magdalena, born in Cleveland in Feb 1866. By 1868 they were in Minnesota.
Did many Germans name their son after a grandfather. Ernst and Marie's 1st
son was Heinrich, then Fredrich, Ernest and William(my grandfather)
I continue my search for Ernst.
Regards,
Lee
Lee,
How sure are you of the birth year for Ernst? Found this item on the LDS
IGI search:
Ernst Heinrich BUESCHER
Christening: 26 Dec 1831
Evangelisch, Lienen, Westfalen, Preussen
Father: Conrad Heinrich BUESCHER
Mother: Anna Sophie KIBBE
Batch number: J954024
Lienen is southwest of Osnabruck, which I believe was in the Kingdom of
Hannover, but I could be mistaken. Hannover became part of the state of
Prussia. There is also an Ernst Wilhelm Buescher christened 15JUL1832 and
an Ernst Friederich Buescher christened 29JAN1837 in the same town with
different parents. Same Batch number. You can do a search for all
Buschers/Bueschers in this batch by clicking on the International
Genealogical Index in the left comlumn of the LDS search page and entering
the surname, region (Germany) and the batch number.
Just a suggestion - You might try reversing the order of your ancestor's
forenames when you search for him. I've found that in some instances my
German ancestors have 3 or 4 "given" names, but they only used 1 or 2 of
them in daily life, and some combination of them for more official matters.
For instance, a man christened Johann Friedrich Adolph Wilhelm might be
known as Johann Friedrich Adolph, or even Johannes Friedricus Adolphus, on
his "church" records (e.g., marriage record, children's baptismal records)
but be called by the name Wilhelm by the family. On German civil records
he might be Friedrich Wilhelm, and when he emigrates to the US, he might
switch the order of those two to conform to US custom and become Wilhelm
Friedrich on US civil documents.
It does keep you guessing, doesn't it?
