G'day all. I've tried searching on the South East Queensland German mailing list, and had a little bit of success, so I thought I would try on this one aswell. For people who are also members on the other list, then I apologise that you have to recieve this message twice. I'm researching my family history and I am trying to find out more information about Hinrich Christoph HINRICHS. He was born on the 11th of March 1841. He was probrobly born in Marne in Holstein, but on other documents he is recorded as being born in two other places, first one is Bellenhusen (Belmhusen???), from what I am told is a small town near Marne and the second one is also Friedrichskoog. He emigrated to Australia on the Beausite in 1864/5 and settled in Gowrie Road, near Toowoomba. On the same ship was a Johann HINRICHS, who we believe was a relative of Hinrich because Johann was a witness to his marraige. In 1869 he married Gertrude HEINEMANN (nee DEHNERT, nee HILLBERGER). Gertrude was married twice, 1st to Hinrich DEHNERT, and then to Johann HEINEMANN, once Johann died she married Hinrich HINRICHS. Their children were: Johann Jacob HINRICHS - born 13-10-1870, married Katharina SCHEU Anna Maria HINRICHS - born 22-08-1872, married Robert HOLMES Wilhelm Christian HINRICHS - born 20-05-1875, married Caroline Louisa ZUPP Maria Elizabeth HINRICHS - born 07-04-1877, died 22-05-1877 Julia Maria HINRICHS - born 06-06-1881, died 27-11-1881 Hinrich died on the 24th of March 1910 and is buried in the Toowoomba Drayton cemetary. Does anybody have any information about Hinrich or Johann HINRICHS? I am trying to find documents that might say either of their parents names. I do have Hinrich's parents names but I wish to confirm them with another document. Any help from anybody would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again, Nicholas Harding.
