Fascinating!

My Beitz and Sepke were supposed to be from Sternhagen near Stralsund
but the suggestion that Sepke was from further East?

The Beitz MAY have been a Jewish tailor but said he was a shepherd
to qualify for work and admission into Queensland.

I think I have this correct but others (watching) will no doubt correct me?

Kind regards
