Chris,
I'm sure someone else on the list can answer more expertly. Most of my early
Germans changed their names around the turn of the century, Gottlieb
Friedrich to Fred, Carl to Charles etc. I think it had a lot to do with the
political situation in Germany at the time. The Kaiser becoming more
aggressive and so forth. The fatherland was openly demanding that German
immigrants in Australia support the Kaiser. There were marchs, rallies and
so forth which caused some anti-german sentiment in some are

Chris & Kerry,
Fred KRETSCHMAR, who founded the band, was my Great Great Grandfather. My
aunt mentions the following in her diary...
In 1869 Fred found employment in a brass band that travelled around the
country playing at races and other sports meetings. In one celebrated
incident the bushranger Captain Thunderbolt, who had been on the loose since
September 1863, held up Fred's band at Bonno Bonno Gap whilst they were on
their way to the Tenterfield races. Thunderbolt had the bandsmen play tunes

Hi Everyone,
I apologise for passing on the virus to anyone. It appeared this morning in the form of .mp3 file and had done the damage before I realised what was going on - blame it on the early morning and not enough coffee yet.
Have scanned and removed infected files, emails etc. so hopefully am now free. The virus detector tells me that I am.
Once again, my apologies

Hullo Beverley and Janice,
These name changes have created headaches for me too. There is one thing
that I have wondered about. Whenever I have been looking at passenger lists
or the BDM I have found the surname MULLER or M|ller, rarely MUELLER yet my
mother who was a second generation Australian wrote her surname as MUELLER
as well asthe other versions on her music books. I expected to find MUELLER
in the German records. Has anyone any explanation?
Thank you,
Wendy

Hi Kerry,

difficult to find as he was listed as GORBER -

ROSENTRETER born 22 Oct 1879 - Q'ld reg no. 1880/6294
Q'ld deaths have only been released till 1949, so I can't help with either of these.

Wilhelmine TETZLAFF was a passenger on the "Herschel" from Hamburg which
arrived in Bowen in July 1873. Her marriage certificate to Matthew MITCHELL
(February 1875) named her parents as Johann TETZLAFF and Anna PERSKE and
that she was born in Deutsche Krone, West Prussia. It seems likely that she
was related to the PERSKE and MANTHEI families who were on the same vessel.
The marriage took place in Mackay and it looks like she remained there in
Mackay until she died in 1902.
Does anyone have any TETZLAFF'
Dear Janice,
Sorry, I was pre-occupied when you were in the T&DDFHS research centre
the other week. I have found mention of Carl Anger in a book which some
of the list may have, titled The German Presence in Queensland, Manfred
Jurgensen and Alan Corkhill, eds, Dept of German, University of Qld,
1988, ISBN 0 86776 2527 (paperback) or 0 86776 246X (hardback).

impossible and calls went out for more ministers. The Gossner society,

You obviously belong to the 'other' Grulkes as well as the 'other'
Schneiders. You seem to have the basis of a good story there. I hope to
read it one day.
Gedcoms are usually created out of 'File', 'Export' & then you have to work
your way through the options. PAF5 has a miriad of options allowing you to
split your data on family lines or, before a certain year or, by surname
only & so on & so on. Family Tree Maker simply allows you to create a .ged

I would like to say Thank You to all those who have contributed so much

I would also like to say that through the list I have formed some wonderful
friendships and even found a few relatives that I never knew existed. I hope
that one day soon we might meet in person. I especially enjoyed meeting

Pastor Carl Anger was sent to Queensland in 1863 by the Gossner Mission
Society. It appears that he may not have came as a pastor but a layman to
work among German migrants in Queensland.
In the early days it was common practice it seems that the government
assisted a number of theological trained men form Germany to come to the
stat to provide pastoral care to the migrants.
In 1863 Pastor Schirmeister ordained him at St Paul's Lutheran c Church in
Toowoomba and then installed him as the pastor.

Hello Paul,

Your surname Hatfield would be able to also come from Germany, would be
able to come from the name Hartfield, this manag in northern Brandenburg
and Mecklenburg-Strelitz before. There is also researcher to this
families in Germany and the USA.
I have too some memos to this.

I was interested to read about the variations in the speellings of some

This can cause a hell of a lot of problems in research as I have found

were Ignatz ZELINSKI and Anna KUGASKI. They then settled in Tarampa.
ZELINSKI has been found under records under the various variations

None of the virus' that i received came through rootsweb.
I understand that rootsweb mailing list cannot and does not allow
attachments. Therefore, we cannot get it through the list.
The virus is being spread from us list members who are unfortunate enough to
open an email directly from another list member, especially when so many of
us are on so many lists.
Your comment below suggests that your virus came through the list.
