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.

Lancashire Lookup Requests / Loughlins in Liverpool
« on: Friday 25 March 11 01:58 GMT (UK)  »
Sorry if it is in in the wrong area

Still digging away at the family tree, now looking at the Loughlins. I have traced them back from Australia to what appears to be Liverpool.

I have a John Loughlin who was born approx 1780. He was married to Grace Dobson. He died at 26 New Bird Street Liverpool. Father was Hugh Loughlin,  and mother was Margeret.

Trail gone cold. Anyone have any ideas or have stumbled upon them in their digging?
