Ann Busker
I am a project coordinator for a commercial general contractor in Central Texas. I was born in Belvidere, IL, lived in Loves Park IL, and moved to South Texas as a child. Texas is my home. In 1999, I moved to the Dallas-Fort Worth area with my then husband, Craig Alan Holcom, and children. Craig & I divorced in 2004. I raised my children in Garland, TX . My daughters finished high school and both joined the U.S. Army. The oldest as a Reserve Soldier and the younger as active duty. In 2018, my son and I moved to Bastrop, TX where we currently reside. My son graduated Bastrop High School in 2019, thirty years after I graduated from Calallen High School. Since then, I have merged my family with Scott Ilse and his family. We share life together as we watch our family grow.
The Busker Family immigrated from Deutschland, Germany in the early 1900's. Their goal was to settle in South Dakota but only made as far as Baileyville, IL where my great grandparents were married. I have found, 1920 through census records, that for a time my family did live in South Dakota. They did return to Illinois. My grandfather Ben Busker married Arlene Goldsworthy and they lived in Illinois, Southern Wisconsin, where my father, Paul Busker was born. They moved their family to El Paso, TX and New Mexico until my grandfather got sick. At that point, they returned to Southern Wisconsin. My grandmother, Arlene, was born in Kansas as Adam Goldsworthy moved his family around the Midwest. They finally settled in Southern Wisconsin. My father remembers Arlene's mother, Mable Byers Goldsworthy and grandmother, Anna Mable Byers Stephens coming to visit while they lived in New Mexico and Texas. In 1968, my parents met in Beloit, Wi at Firestone. My father, Paul Busker, worked there and my mother, Patricia Ann Cook came in as a customer with her cousin. They were married in 1971 in Roscoe, IL. They settled in Loves Park, IL to raise me and my brother, Thomas Benjamin Busker. My father was also a volunteer fireman in Loves Park. In 1982, my father got a job opportunity in Corpus Christi, TX and we moved to Texas. I have traced my mother's side of the family (Cook Family) through Ancestory.com to the 1700's in America. I still need to confirm if this information is correct. My grandparents, Vernon Cook and Martha Lucy Sholes were married in northern IL and moved to Pasadena, CA where my mother was born. She has one older sister, Barbara Jean Cook and a younger brother, James Cook.
