Hi all, My ancestor George ARMOND born c1835 migrated to Queensland sometime before 1862. Born in Frankfurt to George snr and Sarah SCHMIDT. George was a carpenter and married Elizabeth White at Brisbane in 1862. They had at least two children Susannah then Mary Ann in 1867 at Maryborough. Mary Ann was a governess and later moved south to NSW. Anyone with knowledge about these people or researching Germans most appreciated. Regards, Brent ARMOND also Armon, Armand, Arman, Harmon

Ray Allum <raye@netspace.net.au> suggested on 24 Feb that "Many Catholic males with Germanic origins married Irish girls after their arrival in Australia". The relationship between immigrant German men and Irish women might not be just related to religion. My g-grandfather Georg WEDEMEYER was baptised in the Evangelical (Protestant) church on 29 Mar 1825 in the Markt Parish, Goslar, Hanover, Germany. He married Elizabeth DAVIS on 27 Sep 1862 Gayndah, Queensland. Elizabeth DAVIS was born 1839, Westmeath, Ireland and was buried in the Catholic section of the Bundaberg Cemetery. -- ******************************************** Name : Philip Strong Email : plstrong@pnc.com.au Location: Blue Mountains, Australia. Researching: WEDEMEYER Most of the WEDEMEYERS in the Queensland telephone book are related through George Henry Louis WEDEMEYER of Gayndah Qld. ********************************************

Hello Margaret, Will be Prenzlau Prinzlow. Will be Hohenwalde of the ring Angermünde Heffenwalde. There is also a place Hohenwalde in the ring Prenzlau. He is at Ringenwalde. All places appertained to the government district Frankfurt/Oder and not Potsdam. The emigration permission came certainly from there. Potsdam was the Capital of the country Brandenburg. In the citizen book of Prenzlau are mentioned the following Gierke that new citizens became: 14.03.1804 Johann Giercke Fisherman age 34 years Place of birth Sternhagen near Prenzlau 15.06.1812 Wilhelm Giercke Field man (farmer) age 28 years Place of Birth Prenzlau 11.08.1837 Christian Friedrich Gierke work man age 34 years Place of Birth Kuhz 07.06.1858 Christian Friedrich Erdmann Gierke Estates age 40 years Place of Birth Strehlow ring Templin With the family Minns no doubt, will act initially it itself around the family Muenn.

Hello, somebody has the names oat man or Thormann(or Thurmann, Dohrmann) in its ancestor line from Germany? greetings Peter Woddow

Dear List I thought I would introduce you to this mailing list..It has been established only 5 months ago... .I know some of you don't want to join anymore lists at the moment, but the benefit of the "group" mailing list is, that you can also keep up with the messages in 'no-mail' mode as well as digest mode.. One of the big benefits of this list is, the list owner actually lives in Ireland and knows so much about what information is available... The database also has documents posted which assist with Genealogical research in Ireland.. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Y-IRL/ This group is for those who seek information on their Irish ancestors. Many begin to research their ancestry looking for names to link to and find over time that they become interested in the lives of those ancestors, the people they were. Ireland Genealogy will hopefully provide information from Irish archival records as well as information from other countries provided by researchers around the world. It is hoped that those of the Irish Diaspora and those who live in Ireland will come to learn more about being Irish through this group - as well as finding genealogical information in the strictest definition of the word 'genealogy' Best of luck in your searches.. Gay

Hi List, If anyone looked at http://coralsshoebox.cjb.net and couldn't get it to work, I hope the problem has been fixed now. This is the site where I have put my old photos in the hopes that someone might know who they are.The names involved would be- LeBrenz, Schliemann, Musch, Zink, Keys, Jenner, Maclean, Kraatz and Berg or anyone connected to them. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Dear Bev, Thank you for checking your Schultz data base for me. Sorry I have no idea in which Irish county Hannah/Anna Mc Bride was born. I agree with Denise, it would be great if someone could set up a "German-Irish Connection List", that way we could include subscribers from all states with these family links. I will soon have my own computer and addy so until then, I won't join any more lists. I do not have Eric's addy perhaps he will see your request and e-mail you himself. Have you ordered "Finding Records of your Ancestors Part A Denmark" #36577 from the LDS distribution centre yet? I am looking forward to the German one when it's released later this year.

Dear Bev, (Edmonds) Thanks for checking your Mc Bride family, all I know is that Hannah/Anna Mc Bride married William Schultz and when Mary Helena was born, her mother stated that she was born in Ireland. Yes, I too have a gg grandmother who was born in Dublin and with a name like Mary Connor I have never been able to trace her. I do not know if she was born in Dublin city or county.

Dear Jenny, Thank you, I have now located Mary Helena Mc Bride (indexed under Mc Bryde), she died in Sydney & apparently she didn't marry. Not many Mc Brydes listed in NSW though.

original --- suggestion that we post German / Irsh connections. -- I am as you can see subscribed to AUS QLD SE German even tho I have no research here in Qld. I find the people on this list very knowledgeable and as such I stay because I may learn from you.

So instead of taking Qld adding NSW and then perhaps on and on, may I suggest (don't shoot me down in flames please (grin) )that we have a German -Irish AUS list. In the course of my research of the north east of Victoria I"ve noticed few GErman - Irish relationships, and of course lots of Germans, some of whom ended up in NSW and Queensland. Anyone out there willing to "operate" a GErman/Irish Aus list? In the meantime I do have the P/Godeffroy list into Sydney in 1852 and the Victoria into Melbourne in 1854 if anyone would like a look up. Denise
