Christian and Marie WEYER and their two daughters Fredericke and Auguste
emigrated from Hamburg to Moreton Bay on the "Cesar Godeffroy" on the 28th
January 1862.

I am looking for anyone else who emigrated on the same ship, preferrably on
the same voyage, but the same ship will do.

According to the book "Migrant Sailing Ships from Hamburg" by Ronald Parsons
and published by Gould Publishing Services, North Adelaide, 1993 ....
