Australia / Watts Studio
« on: Saturday 22 May 21 00:22 BST (UK)  »
Does anyone know anything about a Watts Studio and I am pretty sure it says Toowoomba?

I have a portrait postcard and this is stamped on it.  From the clothing and hairdo it looks like it could have been taken in the 1860's.

Thanks.

United States of America / Need help from the US on Carl Gustav Hahm/ Gustav Hahm
« on: Wednesday 17 February 21 01:08 GMT (UK)  »
Carl Gustav Hahm born 1873 in Germany arrived in Australia with his family, on board the Lammershagen. His Father Leopold Hahm and his Mother Wilhelmina Steinke and siblings.
 
I have found no trace of Gustav as he was known in Australia after 1921. He lived in Queensland.  I found a record below for a Gustav Hahm and I am hoping I can prove if this is the person I am researching.  Is there more information available on this record, like where he is coming from or a shipping record or family members?

There is a USA index card for a Gustav Hahm. (H 500) It states date of Naturalization 9 March 1925. Country of birth Germany and born 1875. It lists court district Illinois,Indiana,Wisconsin,Iowa.

There is a bit more information on him on the Australian site of Rootschat.

Thank you for any assistance you can provide me with.

Australia / Carl Gustav Hahm/Gustav Hahm
« on: Tuesday 16 February 21 04:21 GMT (UK)  »
Also referred to as Gustav Hahm.  Migrated to Australia 1878 on Lammershagen with family of Leopold Hahm.  Ships record says he was Gustav aged 5.    1903 Electorate Roll states address Beaudesert Road Coorparoo.  I have researched the rest of the family.  Just stuck on Gustav.

There is a 1925 U.S. Naturalization Record, Winsconsin, for a Gustav Hahm (b.1873)   Thoughts as to whether this would be the same person.   

Any idea where I might locate a death certificate, or a shipping record to the US or anything?

Many thanks.  Glenys

Europe / What became of Anna Christina Mangelsen
« on: Wednesday 05 July 17 04:52 BST (UK)  »
Anna Christina Mangelsen born 16 March 1880 in her home town of Steinberg, Schleswig, Nt. Germany.  Mother Christina Elizabeth Ohye.  Father unknown.

Other threads appear on Christina Ohye after she migrates to England sometime between 1880 and 1883.  I am following Anna Christina Mangelsen and trying to research what became of her.

I do not have German as a language and am not sure about the best way to start this research on Anna.

Thanks for any help or suggestions.

The Common Room / Trove National Library of Australia
« on: Sunday 13 March 16 13:52 GMT (UK)  »
Did you know the Federal Government has told the National Library of Australia to consider private funding for its Trove website.

The service will stop adding new content because of cutbacks by the Federal Government.

If you are interested you can go online and sign one of the many petitions to save Trove.

« on: Wednesday 21 January 15 11:12 GMT (UK)  »
If your Ancestor migrated to Australia from Limavady Nth Ireland do you want to mention their names,  where they settled in Australia and when they arrived if you know. Let's see how many we can find.

I will start.  Do surname in capital letters.

Edward Augustus FERGUSON (G Grandfather)  Settled in Tiaro Qld. in the early 1860's. Have never been able to locate a shipping record.

Edward Augustus Ferguson born 4 September 1838 in Drumachose.  Were Educational records kept back then and where would I find these? I don't know what institution he was educated in or where to start looking.

Thanks for any advice.
