* Carl Gustav, my great-grandfather. One of the first sources of confusion in my genealogy research was the use of Charles, Carl and Karl at the end of the nineteenth century in the communities of German immigrants. The 1880 census report for August and Louisa Rosenberg states that they lived with their daughter, Anna Hermine, and son-in-law, Charles (aka Carl) Buss.
