Hi Kerry,

MISKE sounds very unusual - but possible. MASKE, however, would be more
likely and is a typical name for 'northern Germany'. I have some MASKE in my
family as well, but I don't know of anyone who migrated to Australia. They
came from Hamburg, too.

LOUIS must be LOUISE or LOUISA.

Hope this hint might help.

Regards Tina
