Hi I am new to this list and would like to introduce myself. I would be interested to contact any Desjardins relatives in Australia, and Germany to further this research that my father started some time ago. - My grandmother Maria Anna Elizabeth Desjardins was born in 1893 in Rosevale, Queensland, Australia. She married James Henry Skinner in 1914 in Kingaroy, QLD, AUS - My great grandfather was August Albert Ferdinand Desjardins who was born in 1871 in Potsdam, Germany. He emigrated to Queensland, Australia with his father. He married 1. Anna Emilie Auguste Spann in 1893 in Rosevale, QLD, AUS, 2. Anna Schumann in 1922, QLD, AUS - My 2nd Great Grandfather was Johan Wilhelm Desjardins who was born in 1835 in Potsdam, Germany. He emigrated to QLD, AUS with his family. He married 1. Christine Wilhelmina Seefeld in 1859 in Potsdam, Germany, 2. Henriette Caroline Wilhelmine Blume in 1872 in Bergholz, Germany, 3. Marie Christine Charlotte Karr in 1873 in Potsdam, Germany. - My 3rd Great Grandfather was Abraham Desjardins who was born in 1790 in Wallmow, Germany. He married Jeanne Froehling in 1820 in Grimme, Germany. I do have further information back to my 6th Great Grandfather in my database. Some of the information was source from the following web pages, but there appears to be no mention of the Desjardins that emigrated to Australia.: http://www.hugenotten-uckermark.de/Huguenot.htm http://koudal.web.surftown.dk/slaegt/index.htm Regards Keith Skinner
