Hi Listers My German ancestors came to the Shoalhaven in 1856 as assisted immigrants (by Alexander Berry) to work on the Coolongatta vineyard. Philip Arentz was a 'vinedresser'. He was accompanied by his wife Phillipina (or perhaps Catherine) and children Eva, Martin and Christina by an earlier marriage, and Margaret, Valentin, Franz, Peter Joseph and Phillip (who died on the voyage). Valentin, Franz and Peter Joseph later travelled by the Kiandra goldfields to Tumut where they settled. Martin moved to Inverell. Is anyone else researching this family? Cheers Atholie Gallagher
