Hi Everyone, I have just received naturalization papers regarding my gg grandfather stating he was from a place in Germany which looks like Dantzig. Can anyone tell me where this place might have been - I can't locate it on the map. Perhaps, allowing for accents, it was actually a similar sounding name. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Cheers Catherine

German Name Danzig Alternate Name 1: Vicus Theutonicus 1227 Alternate Name 2: Civitas Gedanensi 1236 Alternate Name 3: Civitas Danczik 1236 Alternate Name 4: Burgum Dantzike 1299 Alternate Name 5: Rechtestadt Danczk 1420 Today's Name Gdansk Kreis/County Stadtkreis Danzig German Province Westpreussen Today's Province Gdanskie Location East 18°39' North 54°21' Location Description This village/town is located km and degrees from , which is known today as Remarks Kreisstadt - County Seat in the same named Kreis/county.

The History of the German Community in the Clarence River District gives Clemens and Margaretta (nee Grosz) Siebert arriving on the Caesar Godeffroy in 1856 in Sydney. They had a daughter Louisa who married Andrew McDougall in 1880. Seems to fit with your Louisa.

hi

hi

Can anyone help me with Louisa Siebert (or Seibert or Sebirl or similar) who is said to have come to Australia about 1853. She married Andrew John McDougall on 6 January 1880 in Grafton. Her death certificate gives her fathers first name as Clement. Although I have heard she arrived at Moreton Bay on Caesar Goddefroy in 1856 I can find no mention of her name on the passenger list. Any help appreciated - Barry.

Barry, The following from "History of the German Community in the Clarence River District" by Geoffrey Burkhardt and Nola Mackey ISBN 0 646 37873 2 p. 153 SIEBERT, Clemens and Margaretta (nee Grosz) Clemens Siebert, 1820 Offenbach, Hesse Germany, died Grafton 1864.

But noticed your surname BUSH my mother's maiden name was BUSH she was born in the Bendigo area 1934 her father was GEORGE ARTHUR BUSH, his father GEORGE ARTHUR BUSH also, his father was WILLIAM BUSH, and his father was also WILLIAM BUSH, William and William came to Australia from Liverpool, Lancashire England 1854 on board the MONTEAGLE along with George and Christopher. If you think you may have a connection to my line it would be nice to hear from you.
