Hi I'm a new subscriber. I'm looking for some clues as to my German Australian family. My grandfather was Carl William VAHRY born in Berlin on 11 May 1880 and went to Queensland in 1882 with his parents William Carl WAHRY and Gustu Maria MIERE who settled in Nundah, Brisbane. I understand that my grandfather and one of his brothers anglicised their name to VAHRY while the others in the family retained the original WAHRY. I would imagine that the Christian names were also anglicised and were originally Karl Wilhelm.My grandfather came to New Zealand in 1909 and married my grandmother Mary Christina HASWEll in Auckland 4 years later. If any of my Australian WAHRY or VAHRY relations are reading this or if anyone has any information (i.e. names, dates etc) or clues as to how I could get this information I would be very grateful. many thanks, Niki Francis

Thanks Dan, it's really dates, names etc that I'm seeking and am hoping that someone out there might know something about these families. I know that there are quite a few Wahry listings in the Brisbane telephone book and few Vahry ones. If I don't have any luck from this site I'll write to them all and see if they can help.
