It is my understanding that he & I thought 1 brother jumped ship to arrive in Australia but we do not know much more than that. I know at least my GGF was interred somewhere near Albury. He was Naturalised in 1896 I think.<br />We would love to know more about our family tree but Uncle ludwig told my Dad that he flew to Germany but due to the damage from WWII in Prussia he was unable to obtain any papers.<br />I would be so appreciative if you would be able to give me some advise on how to research the Parow family tree including when they first came to Australia, in German, Internment camps etc.<br />Thank you for your time, best regards MichelleIf you knew Susie.......https://www.blogger.com/profile/14205168690846382011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8798497675400635435.post-26042333363418264432017-07-13T09:01:30.145-07:002017-07-13T09:01:30.145-07:00Hi there, I am a great great granddaughter of Char...Hi there, I am a great great granddaughter of Charles ( you have Carl) Bernhardt Hahnel. Great information you have on him, I have found his naturalisation papers and many other information on him including photos. One thing I am having a problem with is trying to trace him back further then himself, and The ship he has stated on his naturalisation papers does not have him listed as a passenger.. He and another line of his family have been really hard brick walls. If anyone out there is also related, I would love to hear from you!

He came to Australia in 1879 on the ship ATALANTA to New South Wales. He became an Australian citizen on the 29th of December 1900 when he was 41 years of age. He resided in Ashfield. <br /><br />As i am fairly new to genealogy i was wondering if you could please point me in the right direction where i can find where he left Germany to Australia. I am having difficulty researching the ship Atalanta. Any help would be much appreciated. <br /><br />Kind Regards, <br />Melissa-Rose <br />melisshaaaa@hotmail.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09097862004662670727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8798497675400635435.post-20397948845314042012015-09-17T22:01:18.460-07:002015-09-17T22:01:18.460-07:00Thanks Thanks Wayne D Knollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03668022975795483457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8798497675400635435.post-39435522794420523722014-10-21T17:40:03.752-07:002014-10-21T17:40:03.752-07:00Greetings WDK - My blogpal Hels has written a Boer...Greetings WDK - My blogpal Hels has written a Boer War post <a href="http://melbourneblogger.blogspot.com.au/2014/10/boer-war-anti-german-sentiment-in.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>.Ann ODynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01159263330547329077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8798497675400635435.post-14633782356670729892014-03-15T12:56:25.007-07:002014-03-15T12:56:25.007-07:00I am not sure he did go to the US.. it was his wif...I am not sure he did go to the US.. it was his wife Ellen Watt Stephens who supposedly went.. he had abandoned her after one month of marriage in 1884.. however I found an Arnold Hesse in Nashville TN, who for some reason (and I cannot penetrate the Ancestry.com Iron Curtain) is linked to her.Antiochianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00212278817763049213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8798497675400635435.post-89651072631717820272013-10-29T16:57:15.281-07:002013-10-29T16:57:15.281-07:00My G.Grandfather appears in your listing.

During WW I, he changed his name to Schipkie and claimed to be Polish to escape the hysteria directed towards those of German ancestry at that time. Some branches of the family have subsequently changed the name to the anglicised version Shipkey.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10384924637209505329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8798497675400635435.post-67270721304455427012013-04-15T20:01:30.398-07:002013-04-15T20:01:30.398-07:00Hi my name is Merryn Smith I just discovered my gr...Hi my name is Merryn Smith I just discovered my great Grandfather Karl Johann SCHMIDT (born Baden, married Alice JOHNSON 1896 Vic) on this list!. My sister and I have been looking for these two for a long time as my Grandfather (born Karl Johann Schmidt but changed his name to Carl John Smith) ancestry has always been a mystery in the family. Your sensitive explanation to what these men went through goes a long way to helping us understand why my Grandfather was placed in the Ballarat children's orphanage, along with his siblings. Do you have anymore information about him?

Yes. Geor...G'day Marshall - thanks for the tip. Yes. George Victor Heinz was born Sept 1891 in Ballarat, son of Georg Heinz and Louisa Booth. His father Georg Heinz was born in Ballarat in 1860, so we are talking 2nd.3rd generation Australians. In 1914 when he played for Geelong, he was a clerk living at the Haymarket Hotel, in Yarra Street, Geelong where his mother Louisa Heinz was hotelkeeper. Nevertheless, a German names attracted unwonted negativity, and I guess his renown as a footballer tipped him over the edge to change his name. Seems George Victor HAINES married in 1918 to Olive Laura Jane McKEOWN - George Victor HAINES died 1966 Fitzroy age 74 Wayne D Knollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03668022975795483457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8798497675400635435.post-37575268448944604232013-02-20T03:38:35.080-08:002013-02-20T03:38:35.080-08:00IT WAS ONLY ... 1919 - Articles and Special Featur...IT WAS ONLY ... 1919 - Articles and Special Features - Demonland<br />demonland.com › ... › Articles and Special Features<br />1 post - 1 author - 16 Jun 2012<br />The club appointed George Haines, a champion rover from Geelong, as its ...
