Hello everyone, My name is Rosemary McKenzie. I live in Canberra, ACT, Australia. I've been researching my ancestory since I was a teenager. Unfortunately my german ancestor has been a brick wall for me. Fortunately I have had many other lines to keep me busy. The only details I have of my german ancestor is from his marriage certificate in 1880: Edward WEBER (aged 28) - also spelled WABER on some children's birth certificates Married: 3 Nov 1880 Brisbane Queensland Australia Parents: Charles WABA and Caroline LUDWIG Born: Hamburg Germany Family story says he came to Australia by himself and his family didn't come to Australia before or after. Around when my grandfather was born in 1892 (youngest of 6 children) Edward went to the Western Australian goldfields. He communicated with his family for a short while and then stopped. The death certificate (1909 Western Australia) that I believe is his, has no useful additional infomation as it was filled in by a government official who didn't know him. I have been unable to determine when he came to Australia. Rosemary.
