    1. GERMAN SETTLERS
    2. B & L Copeland

    3. There were thousands of German settlers in Australia during the 1800's. Hahndorf "A German Village" in Sth Australia and surrounding areas was inhabitated by Germans from one ship in particular "ZEBRA" which sailed from Hamburg on 12th August 1838.bound for Adelaide. I have a list of the first fifty two families who settled in Hahndorf. This list is inscribed on the Memorial Gates of the Pioneer Gardens in Hahndorf. If anyone on the list ever gets the opportunity to visit Hahndorf you wont be disappointed. It is a lovely place for German History. If anyone would like a copy of the names I can scan it to the list. Happy searching, Leonie.

    3. I agree. It is indeed a lovely town. It was the home of the wonderful German painter Hans Heysen after he came to Australia, and there is a gallery there of his paintings. Everyone who goes to Adelaide should NOT miss Hahndorf, nor the Barossa Valley which is full of German descendants.
