> > > > I am researching Johannes Bauer born approx. 1849 Oberurbach, Wurttenberg, Germany who emigrated to Australia sometime in the 1850/60s. The first known record of him was his marriage to Dorothea Stier in Victoria, Australia (Barkers Creek/Harcourt/Castlemaine) in 1877. On his death and marriage certificates his parents were named as Jacob and Dorothea(weller). Could someone please tell me if, how and where I can apply for a birth record for Johannes. Any info or help would be appreciated. > > Thankyou, > > Faye > >
