Hello all I am asking for any help or information for the Gaedtke - Kampf families, both came from Germany to Qld 1909. Hermann August (B abt 1883) - his wife Emma Anna (B abt 1886) & children Ernst - Johanna & Fritz Gaedtke arrived in Brisbane 26 March on "Asturias. Johann Ernst Arnold (B abt 1860) - his wife Pauline (B abt 1864) & children Paul Otto Erdman (B abt 1896) - Hermann Paul - Pauline Ida & Hermann Fritz Kampf arrived in Brisbane 23 December on "Perthshire". ( Gaedtke listed as Gadtke & Kampf listed as Kampf see Kaniff in the Qld indexes.) The bold is the name they were listed under. Both families settled at Binjour Plateau near Gayndah in Qld. Anna Gaedtke was the daughter of Ernst & Pauline Kampf. & sister to Otto - Paul - Ida & Fritz. Ernst & Pauline were my Gt Grand parents, Otto my Gr father & Anna & August my Gt Aunt & Uncle. ( possibly some children may have died prior to or during the trip to Australia, from both families) On Otto's marriage certificate he has listed - Leimbach, Sachen, Germany as his place of birth. >From family stories the shipping was indirect. And some possibly left from the port of Flussing to travel to England first. Most of the information from when they arrived in Australia has been researched. I would be very happy to learn anything relating to these two families prior to & during their departure from Germany Many thanks from Wayne.
