Hi all, I have quite a "curly" one here and hoping there is a connection amongst the listers. I have a Minna SEIBOTH marrying A Christian Carl WESSENDORF he was shown as the son of Christop and Minna as the daughter of Carl Gustav SEIBOTH? though I can't find her as his daughter as I seem to have them all accounted for.!? Though, Carl Gustav's sister, Marie Elisabeth Seiboth born abt 1840's had a daughter at Kapunda S.A. out of wedlock to father Julius Wachowsky on 31-12-1862 and they called her Ottillie Emma Marie Seiboth. Does any lister out there think that one of her christian names could have gone as "Minna"? Ottillie may have married Christian Carl WESSENDORF on 2-1-1890 she was shown as Minna and age 24 and single the daughter of Gustav Seiboth, Christian as a widower and age 61 yrs and the son of Christoph Wessendorf. They married at the residence of C Maschmedt at Klemzig. S.A. I haven't been able to find Christian's death in S.A as a Minna WESSENDORF remarried a John EDWARDS age 36 and the son of John Edwards. Minna was shown as a widow and age 40 yrs. Her father this time was shown as Frederick Seiboth and they married at Angas College North Adelaide. I haven't been able to find any other Seiboths arriving in S.A. other than Carl Gustav's mother and three other children. Carl Gustav Seiboth married Florentine Emilie SEVERIN in 1854 Tanunda S.A. and they had three children, Rosalie Emilie born 1854, Carl Gustav Seiboth jnr born 1857 and Anna Marie Elisabeth born 1859. Florentine Emilie died 1859 and buried Tabor Lutheran cemetery, Tanunda. Carl Gustav remarried 1860 to Caroline AESCHE. Carl Gustav Senior and his brother Franz Seiboth may have arrived in S.A. before their mother did in 1854 as Carl Gustav married in Feb 1854 and Franz was a witness, their arrival and ship are still a mystery after 10 years of research! As for the brothers arrival in Australia or South Aust I have had no success in finding. Franz later went to N.Z to reside, I have been able to locate a "rellie" of his over there and we have exchanged family tree info, this was a great find and we are both thrilled! I am wondering if there is a connection with anyone on this list that may be able to help me with the Wessendorf or Edwards info? There was one child that I could find born from the first marriage Lena Wessendorf born 30-8-1890 Norwood S.A. The Edwards marriage was in 1909 after the 1842-1906 S.A. Births CD. so have no way of checking later S.A. births. Hoping that I haven't bored you all to tears with this saga and you have been able to follow it all. Thanks for reading it all, will love to hear from anyone that may be able to help with any of this query. Regards and happy hunting and good luck with your research, Judy.
