Hi List I found the below message very interesting, and have found a simular document relating to what is mentioned below, on my uncles side of the family which are German descent, this fellow was born on the 10 March 1871 in Germany and was living at Kingaroy in Queensland, and was a farmer, and was married with a family, this document is called Internee Prisoner of War which has German in large letters stamped on it at the top and on the 1 April 1942 he was captured and sent to Loveday Prison Camp where he spent some time also at a few other places which state were marched to, I was very supprised to find this as this fellow was at the ripe old age of 71, and they thought he may be some sort of threat, are they kidding he was 71 and arrived in Australia in 1891.

Hello Norm, The names included on the certificate interest me. My husband's grandmother's maiden name was Bertha Wilhelmine Greinke, with her parents being Carl Greinke & Henriette Ernestine Greinke. After Carl died in 1883 Henriette remarried to Albert Ludwig Haase/Haas. Her daughter BerthaW may have taken the surname Haase/Haas although she married as Greinke to Albert Charles Young One of the big mysteries is that we have never been able to find a death, a death registration or any burial record of the death of Henriette Ernestine Greinke/Haas/Haase. I would be very interested in the documents if you would like to send copies of them to me. Thank you very much for the offer to those on the list, from Wendy Handes in Armidale district NSW . > > Message also to Kev Hess: If you have any information on the > Haas/Haase familythat would help us we would be very grateful.

Hi I am writing a book on the history of Germans in Australia during World War I and II and the period between the wars. This is a project that I expect to take quite a while to complete- probably as long as five years at the rate I get time to pursue the things I am interested in! Naturally, the whole issue of internment comes into this and I am interested in hearing from anyone with personal stories to relate who remember or have information on relatives that were interned. I would also be interested in speaking to anyone still living who has memory of these years and can relate their experiences or maybe there is someone who still has relatives alive that were interned. Because, it can start to get a little off topic, and can raise dissension, it would be best to provide info off list. I am also interested in hearing people's current opinions- and the reasons for them- on the issue of internment. One of the reasons given for internment was the supposed lack of loyalty of the Germans and those of German descent. For example, I have seen it written that a lot of Germans stated that they did not want their sons serving in an English war where they would meet their cousins still in Germany on the battle field. I intend to present the other side of the story- that despite first generation Australians not being permitted to serve- many did serve and with honour. As an introduction, I will also be giving an overview of German immigration to Australia, and when, where and why they came and their contribution and Australian attitudes up until then. The book will then conclude with a summary of what has happened sense. I know many people I have spoken to tell of really negative attitudes and the association of all Germans with Nazi until recently. Any help with any information- off list- would be appreciated. Personal stories can be included in the book anonymously or with credit. I look forward to people's responses!

Chris and Di Surveying for the proposed "Township of Limestone" was carried out in 1842 by Henry Wade. Governor Gipps who had visited the site and had decided that a town should be established there, had a personal interest in it, decided to adopt the name of the town Ipswich on the River Orwell in Suffolk, England. In February of 1843 he gave orders to E Deas Thompson, Colonial Secretary in Sydney to write to the Surveyor-General on the subject. A government notice was published on April 10, 1843 that a site had been fixed for a township named "Ipswich on the plateau at Limestone, Moreton Bay in the County of Stanley.

Mary Ann DEVELING/DEVILING/DEVLIN/DEPLIN was born about 1838 Saxe, Meiningen, Germany. I have not been able to find her entry into any Australian state. Oral History has that she married in 1859 at "Limestone". The marriage is not registered NSW and/or Qld. Her first husband, John RANDELL/RANDALL was born at Parramatta NSW in 1835. Their first child was born 1861 at Tabulam NSW (which was on Clarence River, between Casino & Tenterfield). Child 2 was born in Broadsound Shire, Queensland 1863. Child 3's birth could have been a Sydney registration in 1866. The next 4 children were born in Queensland (1869 to 1875) where the family then settled down. Does anyone have any ideas in which State "Limestone" may have been, if it's not Ipswich area? Thanks for any ideas. Di
