There is a shroud of secrecy on my Grand fathers side,, .The worst thing he did was marry my Grandmother whose ancesters came to Australia in Early 1800s to mid 1800s. She had Prussian ancestry and ancesters came here to Bendigo during the gold era and just before. my grandmothers ancesters were BOIK, Gaarsch Moos and other exotic names Not forgetting Knobloch.
