I would also like to know if you can help me? Maybe There were Wenning

Hi,
Does the Milk & Honey book give reference to families that came to Aust.If
it does can someone check for a Johannes Hauber who came to Aust abt 1851
onwards from Germany.What is the book actually about, it sounds a good ref
book for people with German Ancestors.
Rae.
