Dear Listers, this is a first post to this website. I am trying to locate my Luschwitz ancestors and am hoping that someone here on this list can assist me please. the names I have are as follows: Descendants of Joseph Luschwitz 1 Joseph Luschwitz b: 14 August 1797 in Germany .. +Josepha Luschwitz b: 11 December 1805 in Germany .. 2 Joseph Henry (Harry) Luschwitz b: 29 January 1840 in Germany d: in Hyderabad ...... +Mary Elizabeth Moore b: 2 October 1846 in Hyderabad m: 1 February 1869 in Bhooj, Gujarat d: 16 August 1880 in Hyderabad .. *2nd Wife of Joseph Henry (Harry) Luschwitz: ...... +Laura Sophia Mayberry b: 24 October 1854 in Hyderabad m: 15 February 1882 in St George's Hyderabad d: 11 November 1898 in Hyderabad I understand that the family lived and there are graves in the Langenbeilau (now Bielawa) area that belong to the Luschwitz family. The family who were in India also returned to the Schweidnitz (now Swidnica) area where they stayed at a convent inthe early 1920s as my uncle Charles Henry Luschwitz and his son Joseph Henry Luschwitz IIIrd learned music at Leipzig. I know all this is rather heresay but any assistance that can be provide to the names of the above family would be appreciated. Joseph Henry (Harry) Luschwitz did 'migrate' to India and served as Bandmaster to the 2nd Balouchi Regiment in the 1840s. He married Mary Elizabeth Moore in Karachi and then moved to Hyderabad to join the Nizam's String Band as Director of Music. His son Charles Henry took over at his death. Charles was born in Karachi.

Hi Kerry, if you have not already done this, go to www.familysearch.org and just enter the last name "Luschwitz" and you get lots of hits. You might find some info you don't have yet.
