Classification: Query
Surnames: Buis, Bush, Tillema
I'm trying to trace my father's side of the family and am running into some roadblocks tracing my great,great-grandfather's family. I think that the name of my great, great grandmother may be incorrect.
My great, great grandfather was Claus Buis
He had twin sons: Corneil and Dave (Dave is my great-grandfather)
Dave at some point started using the last name Bush
Corneil per my grandmother kept using Buis and lived in Fulton.
Dave and Corneil were born in Whiteside County, Illinois in 1883. Their parents were born in Holland.
I have their mother as Millie Tillema. However, I have not been able to find any records of anyone by that name.
If anyone has more information on this family, it would be greatly appreciated.
