Thank you very much! I know its difficult to obtain information about Adam, but i think, if we can contact his nieces or nephews , or something like that, could be fantastic, and a whole new world of opportunities. Actually we have few data, but i have a hunch with this...

I know one of his nephews (I have "done") his family tree. But he didn't know anything about this family - this is why I began looking in the first place.

There is a WW1 personnel file for Adam but basically it just says - we can't find him!!  Maybe this is when/why he changed his name? Maybe this is when he went to America? About 1915-1916?

Thank you very much, Deb! We have testimonials of him. He remembered the end of the WWI(1918) Then, possibly he left the military forces(defaulter).

Here, in Latin américa, he left a huge family.

Can you please provide me the link of the file?

And many thanks again!

Hi, Johann married Anna Dovoloski (his second marriage). Anna is the sister of my gt grandmother Leonore who married Maximillian Hoffman.

Anna died in February 1899 and both she and Johann are buried in Gore, N.Z.

Adam Bulchoz changed his name to William Brown and went to America in 1912 or the other way around. The information I have is that he was brought up by his godfather.
