Hello Stuart, I am interested in your Gierke names. Who do you have? cheers, Beverly.

I have a couple of RUHLEs in my tree. These families were around Pittsworth-Millmeran. Bob & Jill <greytop@iprimus.com.au> wrote:Margaret, Which Schmidt Family have you and your cousin researched? I am interested in information regarding Wilhelm Friedrich Schmidt. Wilhelm Friedrich Schmidt and August Schmidt have witnessed a Application for a Homestead document dated 2/3/1883 for my G.G.

G'day Sandra, My husband's paternal grandmother was Maria Weber. Is she in the book? Also a link with Valentine [Joseph] Weber married Wilhelmine Frederika Baumann 19 Aug 1866.

Hi All, I have SCHMIDTCHEN in my family tree, but haven't researched that line yet. The recent interest in SCHMIDT on the list has made me wonder about the possibility of SCHMIDTCHEN being changed to SCHMIDT or anything else? I'm interested in any information, Thanks, Wendy

Jillian See my reply to the list in response to Karole's query. Wilhelm Friedrich (born 1830)and August Schmidt (possibly born 1848) were half-brothers, but I have no information on their possible connection to your ancestor, August Ruhl.

Hi Karole Here is what I have. I am descended from Carl 2, the eldest son from Carl 1's first marriage. Carl 2 brought his wife and young family with him to Australia.

I have tracked down some 1870's letters written around Gayndah, Qld by my g-grandfather WEDEMEYER. The letters were in English language and in a typical rounded English script and addressed to the Qld Lands Department. Significantly, on two occasions he signs his name with a definite umlaut over the Y of WEDEMEYER.... two vertical strokes. I appreciate that in Danish there is a Y with two dots above, but this was two strokes. Has anyone encountered a Y umlaut? If so, was it restricted to particular German dialects? G-grandfather WEDEMEYER (b. 1825) came from Goslar near Hannover, Germany. -- ***Philip Strong***Email:plstrong@pnc.com.au***Blue Mountains, Australia*** German Interest: WEDEMEYER. Most of the WEDEMEYERS in the Queensland telephone book are related through George Henry Louis WEDEMEYER of Gayndah Qld.

The Maryborough District Family History Society today launched Ted Weber's book "Pioneers in a new Land; the History of the Weber Family in Australia". Four Weber brothers came to Queensland and founded something of a large family in the Maryborough area. Of course the descendants spread all over Queensland. One brother went to WA about 1890. The book is available from MDFHS PO Box 408 Maryborough Q 4650 and costs $25 posted in Australia. Overseas mailing on application. This book is very good value and includes many descendancy charts and photos. A must if you are descended from any of the brothers. Sandra Armstrong President MDFHS
