For a long time, it has been rumored that the Muenches have a family connection through marriage to the Busches of St. Louis beer fame, perhaps through John B. Busch, the brother of Adolphus Busch, who began a brewery in Washington, Mo.
However, although he has conducted extensive research, Karl Muench has been unable to find a connection between the Muenches and the beer Busches. There is a Gordian Ludwig Busch (1821-94), who married Pauline Muench (1827-91) and had 13 children with her in Washington, Mo., but so far, the connection between that Busch and the beer Busches has not been found. Unfortunately, our knowledge of Busch ancestry is sketchy. If you have any knowledge of a connection, please let us know.
