Hi Listers, I am wondering if someone could point me in the right direction please? I have a Johannis LINDNER who is buried in the Bethania cemetery, he died 23.3.1968, 79years, and a former missionary in New Guinea, for 44 years. My question is .....is there someone out there who can check for an obit - or tell me the name of the newspaper I would need to look up and also - can someone in the area of the cemetery take a photo of the headstone for me?? I would be happy to cover costs of course. Many Thanks, Cheryl Briody Ballarat, Victoria

For those interested in PIEPER, check for some in 'Bundy', Mulbring NSW and I know of another lady at Marmong Point NSW who is very interested in the name. The lady at Marmong Point I will have to check her surname. Regards Jenny

Hi Coral, I am at a loss with the NITZ (Netz) family, I have found so much info in the last few days, but I am sure they would be related, can you remember what your father used to talk about, eg job, family of Auggie? Also where is Baymoya? north south of west of Rockhampton? We had a lot of family around the area since 1875, including Semfel, Munro, Findlay, Pritchard, Ricks, Voltz, would it be possible for a quick check of these names as well if it has an index, please.

Lorraine and Keith No problems with posting through the list, as it may help other SCHMIDT researchers too. All email to casmith@iprimus.com.au has been bouncing as the mailbox is reported to be 'over the limit'. Obviously, Paul and Rhonda have not had a chance to read their emails lately. Thanks for your replies.

Dear Paul and Rhondda, I was reading your email and recognized the name SCHMIDT. I am no relation, but I have been indexing local cemeteries in the Logan district. I realize that you may already know this, or that these people are no relation to you, but I thought I would reply anyway. There are quite a few SCHMIDT's buried in the Bethel Cemetery. This cemetery is part of the Bethania Lutheran Parish. The details are as follows. SCHMIDT, Child of F. Schmidt SCHMIDT, Child of F. Schmidt SCHMIDT, Frederite born 12 Aug 1824 died 12 Sep 1909 SCHMIDT, Carl Friedrich Wilhelm born 7 Oct 1886 died 18 July 1905 SCHMIDT, Friedericka Ernestine born 15 Feb 1888 died 24 May 1905 SCHMIDT, Auguste Maria Bertha born 27 Apr 1885 died 5 Jan 1901 SCHMIDT, Carl born 6 Sep 1824 died 12 Oct 1920 SCHMIDT, Ferdinand Frederich died 23 May 1947 age 91 y Spouse of Friedericke Wilhelmine Albertine. SCHMIDT, Friedericke Wilhelmine Albertine died 21 Sep 1953 age 87 y Spouse of Ferdinand Frederich. I hope this may be of some help.

My great-grandfather and his family arrived that year and settled in the Beenleigh-Yatala-Mt Stapylton area. He was John Ward Quinn from Tullamore, King's County (Offaly) married to Eliza (Colgan) from Clommore, Kings County (Offaly). Their children were William, Michael Joseph, Mary, Lawrence, Thomas, Elizabeth Agnes and John Albert. The last two were born in Australia. Eliza's parents were Michael Colgan and Mary Fitzgerald. Maria Colgan (sister of Eliza) and William Colgan (brother??? still looking)were also passengers. Another sister Bridget Colgan was married to a John Byrne (also passengers??) and settled in the same area? John Albert Quinn (my grandfather) married Clara Louise Humburg the daughter of Carl Henrich Humburg and Caroline Wilhelmine Fredrika Schmidt. Carl was born in Mayen, Prussia and Caroline in Gunterberg, Germany. There is a Quinn's Hill at Yatala and there was a slaughter yard in the same area which I believe was at one time owned by the Quinn family (John Ward Quinn was a butcher). We are still in the process of confirming this information. I believe the slaughter yard was sold to a the Christensen family. Hope this is of interest. Any information shared just makes it all a lot easier.

My father used to talk about Auggie Nitz, they had a farm at Barmoya outside Rockhampton, I think Auggie was the son. Would they be the same Nitz'? I have a book "Back to Barmoya Reunion".
