Hi Belindy and Janette,

Just to further complicate matters - Christian Fredrick Kretchsmar was my great great great grandfather - with Dorothea being my great great great grandmother.  I have managed to track them from Hamburg Germany via Tasmania, to Auckland.  My great great grandfather WIlliam had a son, Herman = this section of the family then left for Australia, stayed for a while in Mordialloc Victoria,  before moving west to Cottesloe and then Geraldton Western Australia.  Herman died at Gallipoli in 1915 leaving 5 children.  I am slowly reconstructing the family tree.  I hadn't heard of a Rudolph - however I do know that Christian Fredrick had one male child that I haven't tracked down yet - he was born in 1864 - if I find out anything else I will let you know Belindy.  Janette - I had tracked down the grave site info - but if I could beg a favour I would dearly love a picture of the headstones - my mum and I have been to New Zealand but never tracked down the gravesites - a picture would make her day - cheers Liz

  Thanks Janette  - you're a star.  I am actually meeting a relative of Rudolphs next week here in Perth.  His great nephew - Peter Kretchmar.  Peter's father Alfred, was brother to my Great grandfather Edmund.  Edmund's father WIlliam was Rudolph's older brother and Christian Fredrick's first born son.  Peter is 82 - but a real chipper bloke - he has some photos - can't wait to see what he has - cheers Liz
