Europe / I am stuck and am looking for help re: German ancestory - KUCHEL
« on: Thursday 31 January 13 23:05 GMT (UK) »
After doing really well finding my English ancestors, I am hitting a brick wall in regards to the German side. It is to the point I think my paternal great great great great Grandfather just doesn't exist, which is obviously not the case because here I am.
The problem is I cannot find any records except for his name in a book about him immigrating to South Australian in 1838.
So am now asking for help. Can anyone please help me find him?
The information I have is (which I hope is correct): Johann Georg Kuchel, immigrated to South Australia in 1838, on board a ship called the Zebra, at the age of 55. Occupation was nightwatchman.
I have tried looking on the German sites but it is beyond confusing and I just end up closing the pages out of frustration. Wishing now I had paid far more attention in German classes.
