Hi all, before this mailing list goes to eternal rest, let me please hint at my database of emigrants (whom you call immigrants, I know) who were based in Schleswig-Holstein. More than 111,111 people and more to come. They are found here : www.rootdigger.de There is also information on that site about history and territory of our little green land between the two seas. Greetings from the capital of SH, Klaus (Struve) - the rootdigger

Hi All, Sorry Judy I don't know anything about your family a few days ago I posted a question on  Aust-Ships or something like that and got no reply I think maybe they have been taken off the lists. However I am going to ask the question again on this median I am looking for two ladies Diamonto Maroulatos  who I believe is still living in Adelaide and would be  98 yrs old if this is right b22.09.1921  Her daughter Vasillia Kagiali b.08.04.1944 either in Greece or Italy she married Dominico Palombo  she was last heard of in Darwin. She has a daughter who is searching for her and would love to get in touch.

Some of my ancestors, first generation mined on the New England ranges during the 1880s with "moderate" success. More significantly I read on a display at ballarat that German Miners were second only to those from Britain on that field. There is no doubt that what had been a moderate success became a great push to make that Australia we have today.

Hi Brett, Have you tried the Lutheran church archives in Adelaide? They have records for all of Australia. As you have already surmised, some of the written story and letters would have been destroyed or not passed on because it was in German. Some letters/stories were published in German newspapers, and may have been translated more recently. There are stories of families making their gold by selling their produce in the diggings. Am currently not able to access my records so am going by memory. Tom Durragh has published some excellent research and translation in recent years. Other family histories may have info. All the best with your searching. Chris. On Thu, 14 Feb. 2019, 23:00 BRETT WEINBERG <brett@weinberg.net.au wrote: > Thanks Chris.

Thanks Chris. I have spoken to some people at the historical societies but there don’t seem to be any details. Maybe it was all in German and lost ? Maybe the anti-German feelings during the Wars meant that the records, if any, weren't kept or were destroyed. I tried the German Society, but didn’t get far there either. I’m not sure where to go from here ?

Hi Brett and Bev While researching our family story we found accounts of the men going to the goldfields in the hope of gaining funds to purchase land or assist in the cost of getting started on a farm. Some accounts say they went when farm work was least demanding. Sometimes it is one or 2 mature men with a few young men going together. Blandowski, an English/German speaking Prussian, recorded some of his experiences. They have been translated in recent years and published. Unfortunately, much of the documentation we have access to was written by English speakers. Try the Historical/genealogical societies in the areas of interest. Hope that is helpful. Chris.

Hi Chris, Thanks once again. Kind regards, Judy -----Original Message----- From: Christine Cook [mailto:chris@redcliffs.net] Sent: Tuesday, 5 February 2019 3:13 PM To: AUS-GERMAN Subject: [AUS-German] Re: KREIS Lowenberg. Silesia. Should have mentioned in previous message, parts of the province are now Germany and Czech Republic, so depending on what year or what language your ancestors spoke, will depend on how they spelt the name of the town, area, etc. The Province has the Oder River running through the middle.

Hi Chris, Thanks so much. Kind regards, Judy. -----Original Message----- From: Christine Cook [mailto:chris@redcliffs.net] Sent: Tuesday, 5 February 2019 3:05 PM To: AUS-GERMAN Subject: [AUS-German] Re: KREIS Lowenberg. Silesia. Hi Judy! If you google Silesia Prussia and go to Wikipedia, you will find that part of it is now in modern day Poland, so the names of these places may now have a Polish spelling. Chris.
