Europe / Johann Jacob BRUHN 1826 married Anna MASSEN 1827-1865 GERMANY

The Bruhn family set out from their homeland in 1865 for Brisbane, Queensland Australia.
Johann and Anna and 7 children left Hohenholzn Holstein
As unassisted migrants they left the port of Hamburg and boarded the "Peter Godeffroy" ship captained by Meyers.
238 passengers were on board and 59 died on the voyage including Anna Bruhn and her baby sons, Wilhelm and August.
The story of the family buying land and establishing farms near Toowoomba QLD is an heroic one.
The 5 children were cared for by their father and many friends as they grew up.
Could anyone please find any birth certificates of the Bruhn children born in Germany?
Our Local German family History group is writing this story for a book about German ancestors in our
Kur ring gai area.

Europe / von DITTMER family...Germany to South Australia
« on: Sunday 19 March 23 23:30 GMT (UK) »
The family of Francis Albert von Dittmer has origins in GERMANY.
Would anyone know where please?
Francis von Dittmer was born 19th June 1887 in Adelaide South Australia.
His father was Francis Christopher von Dittmer 1864-1920.
The next generation was Herman R.J. von Dittmer 1832-1897.
also does the small word "von " mean anything?
Many thanks,
Turramurra.

Yes I am continuing to research HUGUENOT
FAUCHON for my husband's family
and PARMENTER for my son in law
The Huguenot research is certainly not easy because it has French beginnings and then English references...sometimes the surnames are anglicised.
Thank you for the help with Eliza DEVEREUX
I would like to find any Suffolk/Norfolk connections and be able to trace back to France.

The history of this family may be Huguenot
I am trying to see if there is link to Normandy.
Devereux is a French name,
Thank you for any help.
