Damerow is now known as Alt Damerow. It is 9km north west of Parchim. It is easily found using the German white pages(www.dastelefonbuch.de) which has a map search facility. It shows about 40 current listings for each of Arndt and Muller in the Parchim area, but no Volkers. My great Grandmother was Lousia Arndt who married Johann Ferdinand August Drewes. She was the sister of Fredericka, the Great Grandmother of Albert Grulke.

John, thanks for letting us know. I had found Klein Damerow south of Parchim, but discounted it in favour of the one in Brandenburg north west of Prenzlau because of the passenger records saying it was in Prussia, and I thought the one near Parchim was in Mecklenburg and was never in Prussia. Apart from the fact there are Arndt and Muller listings nearby, can you tell me how you know for sure Alt Damerow is the place the Arndts, the Mullers and Volkers on the Cesar Godeffroy in 1861 came from? Also, do you how to access the parish records for Alt Damerow?

Jennifer, I know this is crazy but I can confirm from my work that this is the place. I have no data here that I can find at this time but it is correct. Another Volker descendant named something Pegg actually went to Alte Damerow some years ago. He went there specifically to see where his Volker family came from and what their home was like. He found Arndt but no Volker. It does appear that Volker did not originate from Alte Damerow but did come to Queensland from there. If I remember correctly he did not find any Volker on the tombstones or any record of their having ever been there. However the shipping documents say Damerow. In my research and my book I found some 8 or 10 Volker families that came to Queensland. They are not related as far as I could work out but they all seemed to come from in the same general area.

I am wondering if we have resolved the Damerow question. I seem to have lots of emails here and even made some myself. I have confirmed and am now certain that the Damerow we are all looking for is the one near Prenzlau. The Volkers, Arndts and Drewes all came from there. Albert grulke
