Reply to: name by marcia chuesberg
It could be a reworking of the Swedish surname Tjusberg, CH being the nearest English speakers could get to TJ. If you scroll down this page -
http://www.us-census.org/pub/usgenweb/census/mo/sullivan/1900/_indx-c.txt
you'll find a Swedish Chuesberg.
If it's German it's probably from some minor place name.
