Thanks Deb Well that eliminates another possibility. I am looking for details of this SCHAPER family - Carl August Heinrich SCHAPER married in Mackay in Nov 1896 - it is possible that he arrived via Victoria, but I cannot prove it. 1 Conrad Friedrich Wilhelm SCHAPER . +Johanna Dorothea MEIYER ....... 2 Friedrich SCHAPER ....... 2 Anne SCHAPER ....... 2 Carl August Heinrich SCHAPER Born: 13 August 1868 Adonstedt, Hanover, Prussia Died: 24 July 1926 Mackay, Qld, Aust Burial: 25 July 1926 Mackay, Qld, Aust ........... +Henriette Marie Augusta WESCHE Born: 19 September 1877 Liebenburg, Hanover, Prussia arrival: 1 October 1881 "SIR WILLIAM WALLACE" Married: 19 November 1896 Mackay, Qld, Aust Died: 8 August 1954 Mackay, Qld, Aust Burial: 8 August 1954 Mackay, Qld, Aust Father: Johann Christian Andreas WESCHE Mother: Conradina Wilhelmine TAPPE Lorrae Glenore Grove Qld 4342 http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=helmrich -----Original Message----- From: Deborah Brian [mailto:d.brian@uq.edu.au] Sent: Saturday, 16 May 2009 6:03 PM To: Janet; aus-qld@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [AUS-QLD] Shipping arrivals - 1895 Hi Lorrae, Further down in the same article (http://ndpbeta.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/3615189), it states that the Konoowarra departed Brisbane on the same day, bound for Sydney and Melbourne, and lists a SCHAPER among the passengers -- however, it seemed to be a *Miss* SCHAPER, so I checked on Ancestry, and it is certainly a "Miss" -- so, sorry, not your guy. Let me know if you'd like me to send on an image of the passenger list itself?
