Hello, I am undertaking research for an exhibition on the photographer and police inspector, Paul Hinrich Matthias Foelsche, who arrived in Australia on the brig Reihersteig, reaching Adelaide on 26 October 1854. PHMF was born on 30 March 1831 at Moorburg, south of Hamburg, Germany. His parents were Matthias Foelsche and Anna Maria Magdalena Beenke. My question is whether any other list members know of this family, and in particular, can cast any light on their background in Moorburg. I understand that my best course may be to engage a professional researcher in Hamburg, and perhaps someone can advise me on how to go about that. My information tells me that Paul Foelsche served in the Prussian Hussars, probably around 1848-53, and I'd be particularly interested in tracing his military record as well. Many thanks, Dr Philip Jones, South Australian Museum, Adelaide
