Thanks for that Dave ,I have looked on Danish family Search and I was interested to see there is a family of Strucks living in Preetz in the 1840 census there are no less than 5 girls who are about the right age but none of them are called Dorothea also on the same census for Preetz there is a Asmus Breautigam working as a servant which is the occupation recorded for Christian Braeutigam on the baptismal record , this would be 7 years before before the baby was born but I do wonder if there may be a connection.

Hi Karen,
Thank you for that information it is much appreciated.I know very little about Dorothea accept she gave birth to my G G Grandfather in the maternity hospital in Kiel in 1847, she was an unmarried mother and the father's name was Christian Braeutigam from Raisdorf apparently the child was conceived in Preetz .I have obtained this information from a baptismal record.

Europe / Dorothea Struck

Hello recently I found out my G G G Grandmother Dorothea Struck was born in Nehmten, Plon, Schleswig Holstein, Germany. I am struggling to find a record of her birth in that area however I have found a record for a Doris Struck born in Nehmten at around the right time 1823, so my querie Dorothea is could Doris be Dorothea .

I have recently found out that my G G Grandfather was born in Kiel Germany he emigrated to Wales in the late 1860s early 1870s and changed his name from Johann Christian Braeutigam to John Brodigan . I have his parents names as Christian Braeutigam and Dorothea Struck but I am struggling to find any records for them , I was wondering if anyone could recommend any websites with records for this area I could search .

He was still at sea in 1901 unfortunately his wife was an alcoholic who probably stretched the truth a bit .

Pretty sure he's not Irish although I know the name would suggest it Kiel and Brake are both ports in Germany and if he was Irish why not just say so . He did marry Martha Jones in 1877 . Thank you everyone for your replies .

Thanks for reply . The only places I have been able to locate him are on crew lists and his marriage certificate believe he was born between 1845-1849 , also he appears in some articles in Welsh news papers online where he is referred to as a foreigner married to a local woman .
