Hello everyone

I am trying to fing decendents and information fot Peter Joseph Faust and his daughter Annie Rosa Faust who came to Brisbane Australia in the 1860's. They lived in Dorfen or Dorfhein" in "Baiern". Peter's wife's name was Ellen Sohr

Hi Terry,

my first thought was that "baiern" is "Bayern" or Bavaria, but the only Dorfhein I can find is Dorfhain in Saxony

But there is a Dorfen in Bavaria:

(much more here, if you can read german: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorfen )

regards,

Hello all,

Peter and Ellen were married when they came to Australia.
 Annie Rosa was their daughter? Even though she had the same name there is some doubt about that.
She married a Charles Leu here in Brisbane.
I am after any of their relatives in Germany.
