A DNA test might bring them together. As the first member of the Pusch surname project at FamilyTreeDNA, my own experience may be helpful. My surname is Pusch but, although this is a fairly common name in Germany and the United States, I have been unable to find any Pusch ancestors further back than my grandfather Johann or John Pusch who was born, supposedly in Prussia, about 1841, He immigrated alone to Mankato, Minnesota before 1872. His surname is listed in some documents, as Busch and it may also have been either Push or Bush. Details on my Pusch, Busch, Push and Bush line may be found on my RootsWeb site at: http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=pusch&id=I000001 Or on Ysearch (the FamilyTreeDNA sponsored site) at: http://www.ysearch.org/lastname_view.asp?uid=&letter=&lastname=pusch&viewuid=QM4PT&p=0 I had my DNA tested by FamilyTreeDNA in the hope I would immediately find some connections but so far, no matches have been found. Matches have been found for many others at FamilyTreeDNA however and I hope that some new individuals, as they are tested, will match my results. If so, I will be notified. As the Y chromosome is passed from father to son, unchanged, except for a mutation about every 500 generations, I’m sure I have many matches out there among the untested. Comparing my results to others with similar surnames, should be the best way for me to find them especially if they decide to submit their DNA sample to FamilyTreeDNA for the reduced Pusch surname project price at http://www.familytreedna.com/(cxp5jqiabifpdn45ri5fl345)/public/pusch/index.aspx
