Lets get back to some serious research. I was wondering if anyone out there has any information on the BERLIN family who originally settled in Tallegalla and then Marburg, Qld. >From what I can find out, all Berlin's appear to be all descended from the one family who came to Australia on the Wandrahm which arrived 12th January, 1866. BERLIN, Christian Friedrich b. 7th Oct 1822 Fergitz, Prussia; d. 27th Mar 1903 Tallegalla, Qld married abt 1850, Blakenburg, Prussia to STRASSBURG, Wilhelmine Auguste b. 17th Jan 1826 Blakenburb, Prussia; d. 29th Mar 1902 Tallegalla, Qld. I have a fair amount of information, but as always, we would like to find out more. Thanks in advance. Kerry Muller Melbourne ______________________________
