Dear Lists, this time I woud like some help with the Schaffer side of my family. I have George Adam Minz married Ellen Hughes Donaghue (good German and Irish mix) They had 8 children the first daughter Mary Theresa born 1890 in Toowoomba, she married George Schaffer in 1909 in Toowoomba. Ellen Minz died in Toowoomba in 1944 (she was born in 1866) When I serched sometime ago I could not find them arriving in Qld and at the time wondered if they had disembarked in some other state. Haven't had much time to do my own family and didn't go deeply into this at the time I did the family tree. Many thanks Irene Irene Schaffer Email: irene.schaffer@bigpond.com http://www.tasfamily.net.au/~schafferi

Hi Irene, As you may have realised, I am used to searching QLD records. Just went to the QLD archives passenger lists, and found a lot of people with names such as MINZE/MINES/MINNS etc, but no George. Had a look on Trove too, but nothing between 1880 and 1890 in shipping lists. Lots of unnamed people in steerage though, even listed like that from Sydney. Went to the new QLD BDM's and found George "Alan" and Ellen were married in 1889 (C607) Went back to the QLD archives shipping and found two Ellens. DONOGHUE aged 30 on the "Duke of Argyle" 4/2/1888 DONOHOE aged 15 on the "Corona" 6/3/1884 Do you have a possible date of birth that would rule either of these out? This is only a preliminary look. There is also a passenger list on the NSW Archives site that relates directly to QLD. Haven't looked there yet. Interestingly, in QLD 1882 there is an Elizabeth MINZ marrying a Julius Edward BAARTZ. (C455). If the MINZ family were there earlier, it would definitely be worth looking on the NSW list. Am about to do so. Will get back to you if I find anything. Cheers, Wynnette. -----Original Message----- From: aus-qld-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:aus-qld-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Irene Schaffer Sent: Thursday, 13 March 2014 12:39 PM To: aus-tasmania@rootsweb.com; aus-qld@rootsweb.com Subject: [AUS-QLD] Minz family.

Hello Irene, The family arrived on the Lammershagen in early 1874 having left Hamburg late 1873. Just type "George Adam Minz" into Google and you will find all you are looking for. Happy hunting Janet

That great thanks everyone now I know the beginning of the Minz family in Australia but it looks like I will never know who Ellen Hughes Donghue was or when she arrived. I have run into a brick wall with her, then we all know everyone has this once in a while. Regards Irene ----- Original Message ----- From: "B.
