I am after a book on the Immigration ship La Rochelle which sailed from Germany to Australia in 1865. Could someone tell me if it is available please. Thanks, Gloria.

Hi Gloria, We aren't sure if there has been a book written on the La Rochelle, but there is a lot of information in the books Emigrants from Hamburg series written by Eric and Rosemary Kopittke. The whole collection is now available on CD from the Qld Family History Society. It contains the passenger list of the voyage, age of the person, last place of residence and occupation, the date of departure from Hamburg, information on the ship itself, it also contains newspaper reports about the voyage and in the case of the La Rochelle in 1865, there are many. We have also heard there are extracts from a diary written by the Supertendant Stuart Beach on Dunwich where the ship was held in quarantine. Hope this is helpful Regards Noel & Del Bergman From: "Gloria Mattingley" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Date sent: Sun, 4 Nov 2007 13:21:44 +1000 Subject: [SEQ-Germans] Book Inquiry Send reply to: [email protected] [ Double-click this line for list subscription options ] I am after a book on the Immigration ship La Rochelle which sailed from Germany to Australia in 1865.
