-----Original Message----- From: On Behalf Of Jodie Worboys Sent: Tuesday, 5 April 2011 5:01 PM To: AUS-QLD-SE-Germans-admin@rootsweb.com Subject: Caesar Godeffroy 1855 passenger list hi thanks for taking my inquiry but I am searching for my relatives Charles & Susannah Backus/Bacchus/Bachus/Backs who arrived in Grafton before 1860. They were married in 1854 in Nasaau Germany then left Germany for Australia arriving before their 3rd child was born in 1860. They may have had a child with them named Catherine or Francis. Thank you so much.

The "History of the German Community in the Clarence River District of NSW" by Geoffrey Burkhardt and Nola Mackey, Grafton Family History Centre 1999 (ISBN 0-646-37873-2) mentions Carl and Sussanna BACKES/BACKUS/BACCHUS. According to this source, the couple came from Hattenheim, Nassau, and arrived per "Armin" Sydney 1858 and are said to have had children, Catherine and 'Frances', with them upon arrival. (Sussanna was HEEPER nee STRASHAMER.) Carl worked initially as a tinsmith at Kirchnerstadt and then continued in his trade in Grafton.
