It has been discovered that men in Germany commonly took the surname of their wife in various circumstances. In the case of several known patrilineal Buescher lines, the men named Hanebaum (Hannebaum) and Wilkemeyer took the wife's surname of Büscher (Buescher) when she was the heiress/successor to a Büscher farm. The male descendants of these couples have the surname Buescher, but genetically represent some other surname. The goal of this project is to collect, compare, study, and share the Y-DNA results of Buescher men, and attempt to group them according to the various Buescher family lines. We welcome all FTDNA Y-DNA testers to join that have the Buescher surname. For comparison purposes, we would like to invite any men with the surname Hanebaum, Hannebaum, and Wilkemeyer. More surnames may be discovered and added in the future. Thank you for helping with this study!
