Thanks to Lisa for the link. I wonder if the original is held in Australia. It appears that marvellous information is in this book. An example is from a bit of correspondence I received. The translation is mine: >From correspondent: >Moin, moin to Australien ich fand in Fritz >Gruner "Auswandererlisten des ehemaligen >Herzogtum Braunschweig" auf Seite 186: >Wedemeier to Australien fromm Sadler: >Johann Heinrich August Wedemeier ** Häusling und >Schuhmachergesell,* 23.3.1821, Sohn des Sattlers >und Amtscopisten Joh.
