Title: Looking for the KIESEWETTER family, SA, 1800's
Post by: carna on Wednesday 09 February 11 09:37 GMT (UK)
I am the great-granddaughter of Alma KIESEWETTER, born in Eudunda, SA 29/1/1986.
Alma married Francis William Brinnand in Jan, 1917

I believe Alma was one of 10 children of  Heinrich (Henry) KIESEWETTER and Katherine OWEN.
Heinrich died in 1919 in Broken Hill and Katherine died at 104, as the oldest lady in SA, in 1959.

If anyone has any information on the other children, or Heinrich or Katherine, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

According to a couple of sources on the web, Henry / Heinrich KIESEWETTER was born in Hamburg on the 25 March 1845, and came to SA when approx 3 months old and his marriage registration states father John....this could be the birth of a sister.  There are very few KIESEWETTER's on the SA indexes.

Birth
KIESEWETTER Anna Dorothea
14 May 1851
Father Johann Heinrich KIESEWETTER  Mother Johanne Maria Caroline AMMER
Place of birth not recorded   Ade 3/217

After quite a search...this is the death of Henry's father, Johann Heinrich KIESEWETTER in Victoria.  He evidently died at Benevolent Asylum in Castlemaine...stated online as quoted from his death certificate.  He is buried in the Castlemaine cemetery.

Thank You all so very much.

My grandmother, (Alma's daughter) is now 91 yrs old and although she knew about some family, she is very excited to find out about any more.

Thanks again
Carna.

P.S. Sorry. Yes Alma was born in 1896.

The Eudunda Heritage Gallery has a wealth of information on all things Eudunda - newspapers, community groups, early families in the area etc, etc.  When I visited they were most helpful.  There is a contact phone number, but limited opening hours so check on the link below.
