Census and Resource Discussion / Re: Baptised twice?
« on: Thursday 08 November 18 01:23 GMT (UK)  »
My father was baptised in a Catholic Church when he was a month old but the family weren't churchgoers. Shortly before his death, when he was 68, he was visited regularly by a priest & couldn't remember if he'd been baptised so the priest performed a 'conditional' baptism .. just to be sure. So he was baptised twice. LOL

Australia / Seeking record of 2 little sisters on ship Sydney - Germany c1898
« on: Saturday 06 January 18 09:35 GMT (UK)  »
I’m seeking help, please, to find a passenger record of Annie Minnie Zink & sister Marie Louise Zink & whoever they were with, travelling from Sydney to Germany around 1898. Annie (known as Minnie) would have been about 13yrs old & Marie (known as Louisa) would have been about 5 yrs old.
 
They were sent from Sydney by their parents, Heinrich Otto & Friederike Louise Zink, to live with relatives in Germany & to be educated there.

Their paternal grandfather, Friedrich Carl Theodor Zink (known as Carl) was a schoolmaster in Gotha. Their paternal uncle, Carl Adalbert Ferdinand Zink, was a pastor in Welsleben. He & his wife were childless & I know Louisa lived with them for some time.
 
I have their return details but have no idea whether they travelled to Germany with relatives or family friends. 
 
Name: Miss Minnie Zink
Port of Departure: Bremerhaven
Port of Arrival: Sydney, New South Wales
Voyage Arrival Date: 21 Nov 1907
Vessel Name: Bremen
(Annie Minnie Zink was born 1885 in Sydney so she was 22 yrs old)
 
Name: Miss Louisa Zink
Port of Departure: Bremen
Port of Arrival: Sydney
Vessel Name: Scharnhorst
Voyage Arrival Date: 4 May 1911
(Marie Louise Zink was born 1893 in Sydney so she was 18 yrs old)

Thanks,
Denyse Bonney in Queensland

The Lighter Side / Re: Oldest age an ancestor had their first child?
« on: Tuesday 16 May 17 06:26 BST (UK)  »
My mother-in-law was 45 when she had the last of their 13 children. Several of their grandchildren have an aunt & uncle younger than them because mother-in-law was still having children after her eldest 4 were married.

I've never personally seen the description 'uterine' brother on any record, however.

Those that share the same mother (but different fathers) are known as uterine siblings or maternal half-brothers/half-sisters. Those that share the same father (but different mothers) are known as agnate siblings or paternal half-brothers/half-sisters. In law, the term consanguine is used in place of agnate.
