Hi John I have also done research on the Bliesner line, Elizabeth Louise Bliesner married Herman Carl August Albrecht in 1893, I am researching the Rossow line and that is how they fitted in, thier daughter Bertha married Leonard Wilhelm Rossow. Regards Mark Alan & Cheryl, I have been waiting a long time for someone to be researching this family. If you wish to contact me off line I have the family of Carl August Bliesner going back three generations. He was born in Gross Teschendorf, Wesat Prussia on July 27, 1843. He married Louise Ostoike (spelling varies) in the Catholic Church in Schonwiese, West Prussia on the 11 November, 1871. The reason I am interested is that Carl August's mother ( I am certain) was the sister of my g-g-grandmother who was Anna Brause. My grandfather (9) and his sister (18) were sent out to Queensland, and again very sure they stayed with the Bliesners. My side of the family called her Aunty Bliesner. I have eight of their children born here in Australia with their birth dates but have not gone any further here in Australia. Would like to hear from you. Regards, John Josefski.
