Hi everybody Just a thought!!! Who registered the birth? How soon afterwards was the birth registered? Who registered the death? How soon afterwards was the death registered? I thought the death was usually registered immediately whilst there is a time period for the birth to be registered. Is it not possible that the death was registered before the birth and at the time of death, a name had not been decided. By the time they registered the birth, a name may have been decided. Alternatively, perhaps the birth was registered by someone not in the family who was going to town.

I am reading a novel which might be of interest to members of this list. It is about a group of German immigrants who come to Bundaberg written by Patricia Shaw- Title "The Dream Seekers" it is a fiction novel but I have enjoyed it very much. Christine Stewart Townsville I have no personal interest or any connection to this author. Researching MODROW, WOGANDT & GRIINKE in Bundaberg and Toowoomba.

Hi Bev, This is a very grey area, and apparantly an area that was kept very quiet within the family, and from what I know, a lot of the family do not know about it. Herman MULLER was my GGfather. His mother was Friederike Ernestine Wilhelmine MULLER, and his father is unknown. A fellow researcher on the MULLER name, and a distant relative of mine advised... "I could not find the birth of Harry Muller for ages, we were told none existed as he was supposed to have been born on the ship coming here. Then one day, I was talking to my husband mother and she let drop that really her father's mother's name was MOHNS. I looked up the B.D. &M., and there it was!!! There is another story also, which I think can be discounted - Fredericke was supposed to come to Australia with her parents (Mother anyhow) but was in love with a high-ranking army officer, so became pregnant so she could stay in Germany. However, he was born on 13 June 1884 and the ship "Waroonga" sailed from Hamburg on 26 June 1883 - work it out for yourself..." The "Waroonga" sailed from Hamburg on 26 June 1883 and then went to Portsmouth from where it sailed on 22 November, 1883 and arrived in Cooktown 8 January, 1884. Herman would have been conceived about September 1883, so this would have been either on board ship or during the stopover at Portsmouth. In addition to the above she advised... Friederike is evidently the illegitimate daughter of Dorothea Louise Mohns who married Christian Friedrich Wilhelm Muller in Germany. Not sure whether used the name of Muller or Mohns. Jean Harm of Gympie advised she received some information from Germany which was sent to a Karen Muller who she lost track of. The original letter was in German, and a friend of hers transcribed it for her. "...Friederike Ernestine Wilhelmine Mohns born 21.4.1856 out of wedlock. Mother Luise Mohns, daughter of day labourer Christian Mohns. There is no record about the father..." This one is a tricky one I am still trying to find information on. None of my direct family know anything about it. If you find out any useful information, I would be very greatful.

Hi again Daph and Listers Firstly, I must tell you I may be A.W.O.L. for a few days, so this could be my last message for a short time only. Daph, you really are a gem - I don't have any of Samuel's family. The GEITZ/WEGENER/NASS connection has me confused though. I have a few WEGENERs, but no parents. Linda Dorothy HANSON details are as I have them. James Peter's father was also James Peter HANSON born 1841 in Eskdale, Finland, died 14.06.1929 Milbong, Qld Aust married 29.12.1874 Mary MEIKLE b 24.03.1850 Waterside, Scotland died 10.05.1927 Milbong, Qld Aust. You will find most of our families at http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com but of course the "living" folk do not show any dates. I have two Anna Elizabeth ALTHAUS girls: 1. born 01.10.1890 - died 15.04.1909 Her parents were Nichlaus b June 1861 and Agnes or Agnesa Teis b 23.09.1866 2. born 22.05.1900 Toowoomba died 28.02.1954 Toowoomba buried 02.03.1954 Drayton Cemetry, Toowoomba. Her parents were Johann b abt 1866 and Elizabeth FREYLING b 14.03.1866. She married 16.12.1950, Philip Clarence Reeves b 08.06.1908 Warwick I have Karoline Elizabeth SCHOLL m 24.08.1893 Jacob ALTHAUS. The death record is the same. Once again folks, this is not my personal research - only 'gatherings' from others. I am expecting a snail-mail regarding Samuel MÜLLER next week or so and will share what is being given to me.

Hello Christine, when I was in grade school in Toowoomba one of my teachers was a Mr. Bernard Grinke - any relation? Don't know much more about him than that he taught at Newtown State School between the years of 1950-1957. cheers, Beverly. Life on Earth is Expensive, but at least you get a free trip around the sun....... So wear a hat and enjoy the ride!

Lorraine, you really have a handle on the 'immediacy and accuracy" our ancestors paid to the registration of births, deaths and include in that the marriages. "Whoever was going to town" is the key phrase in your post. Life on the farm was difficult and not much free time to do much outside of the farm duties. Wasn't there a time when a fee was levied for people to register Births etc.? I have one of my Ggrandmother's siblings who was never registered in Queensland or anywhere for that matter. I know she lived because I interviewed her when she was 75 yrs old. guess the government did not always manage to dot their "i's" and cross their 't's". cheers, Beverly. Life on Earth is Expensive, but at least you get a free trip around the sun....... So wear a hat and enjoy the ride!

Does anyone have information on the marriage of Kirstina (Kristina) Maria MULLER to Hans Fritz MALCHO? I would appreciate any information on this couple. Thanks Dianna Caboolture, Qld

Hi List Would just like to say thanks to everyone who replied to my question, and it seems that everyone agree's that I should be able to get a certificate for this child. Regards Mark Researching for. Stolzenberg. Rossow. Schloss. Casten. Hesse. Nielsen. Beitzel.

Hi List, My wife and I were fortunate enough to have travelled to Germany and the U.K. recently, where we thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful country and met some very fine and friendly people. We had two glorious weeks in Germany, mainly staying with friends and a distant cousin I had located during my Family history research. He and his family were living in the same village in Mecklenburg that my Bergman ancestors lived in since circa 1738 and my female Rogmann ancestors had lived in since circa 1530's. I was very lucky to say the least. It was truely wonderful to actually walk around the village of Spornitz and other nearby villages like Karenz, Eldena, St=FCck and Conow, all where my German Bergmann ancestors and families came from. While in Mecklenburg, I was fortunate to meet with Herr Udo Baarck, curator of a Family history museum in the small village of Glaisin, Mecklenburg, who very kindly gave me a copy of a book titled "Letters of a German American Farmer" by Johannes Gillhoff. This book was originally compiled from letters written in the late 1800's back to Glaisin Mecklenburg by German emigrants to the USA, mainly in Iowa. The book I read was translated by a Richard Lorenz August Trost,whom I understand from the foreword in the book has also translated another old low German book into English. This other book is one originally written by the well known German author Fritz Reuter, also a Mecklenburger, titled " Kein H=FCsung." Reuter wrote in the nineteenth century and wrote about his beloved homeland Mecklenburg. I would be very interested to learn if any english language versions of the Reuter book are available. I would be interested in purchasing a copy. Hopefully someone can assist Thanks in advance Noel Bergman Brisbane Australia RESEARCHING: Bergmann,Stumer,Wellbrock,Schroedter,Schroeder,Voje,Koehler,Paul,VichelGottschalk,Zabel, Podlich,Stepke,Erdmann,Dreher,Rogmann,Warncke,Becker,Walpole,Murchison,Nicholson,McGillivray,Robertson, O'Neill,Ryan,Kenny,Hoey,Fulloon,Wittkopp,Drafts,Stewart,McSwain,Raper,de Walpol,Eckersley,Wallace, Baker,Burke,O'Mahoney,Keays,Sadlier,Bridgeman,Fitzpatrick,Harrison,O'Brien,Heeney,Berry,Bateman,Ahearn, Lewis,Norton,Bawn,Mills,Reddie,Sheridan,Quinn,McKenzie,Tracey,Plant,Johnstone,McIntosh,Toshack,Hepburn, Wheatley,Stammers,Lynch,Bell,Pellow,Wasserzieher,Teschner,Neuber,

Hello listers, does any one have a new email address for Barry Roser. His old address was/is roserbm@ats.com.au I have had a number of posts to the list bounce from this address so I was wondering if he had a new address? thanks in advance, Beverly Markham.

Hello Albert, yes, they are the same. The German name is SCHLESIEN, the English SILESIA. Graeditz, or better Gräditz, today Grodziszcze, Poland, former in the Kreis (county) Schweidnitz, belonged to Lower Silesia. Reichenau, here it becomes difficult. There is one Reichenau City in the county of Frankenstein and a Reichenau town in the county of Glatz. HOFFMANN is a very common name, but have you tried the Silesian mailing list? Maybe someone there may be able to help you! By the way, I have Carl Heinrich HOFFMANN, 1850-1918, oo to Lina Frieda BUSCH, who migrated to Australia in 1899 and died in Brisbane. He first was married to a Marie KREIS, they had 3 children.

Hello again Kerry and others interested in these folk, Do you happen to know if there is a possible connection between Christian FW MÜLLER, his spouse Dorothea Luise MOHNS, her father Christian MOHNS and your G/Grandfather Herman MÜLLER? The latter was aka Harry MOHNS wasn't he? They were all born in Bagemuhl too. If Frederike, Christian FW's daughter, was his mother, have you been able to sort out who his father may have been? Have you checked out the MOHNS family? Who is able to help me with another one please? Today, I have received a reference to a gentleman called MILLER. This fellow is most definitely one of the MÜLLERs under current scrutiny of this List, but if I referred to his Christian name a few of us might suffer from severe stroke!! Could it be another case of a variant, eg KERLIN, KIRLIN, CARLIN, CURLIN ++++? I'm leaving the "thread" here for those of you who may be interested or new.

In my paternal grandfather's family ( Launceston - late 1800's) all the births were registered without christian names, but once the child was baptised ( Church of England) their names and place of baptism ( bonus!) was added to the registration. Fortunately I was able to view these records on microfilm. Jill TUMES

I am looking to learn if SCHLESIA and SELISIA are the same place. The persons concerned named Hoffmann were born in GRAEDITZ, SCHLESIA. The Hoffmann family on my tree came from SILESIA. It appears the place might be REICHNAU. I am trying to establish if there may be a connection. Albert Grulke in sunny Melbourne Australia

Mark A child registered as 'unnamed' is NOT always a stillborn baby .... I know of an example where the majority of children born to a particular family ie. the oldest ones are registered as 'Unnamed', 'Male' or 'Female'. These children all survived infancy and, in most cases, reached adulthood and produced offspring themselves! (Having said that, I'm not certain why they were registered in this manner ...) If there's a Ref No. - ie. via the Indexes - the event was registered and, therefore, you will be able to get a certificate.
