I have been researching our family tree for some time now, but I just can't seem to get it to go back any further. I am at a brick wall.
Wondering if you might be able to help.
I have traced the family tree back to
Friedrich
Wilhelm Hessborn 17 Oct 1815
Baumgarten(Brandenburg-Prussia, Germany)
died 31st March 1878 in Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia
married Charlotte
Krull in Blankinsee 1844
migrated to Australia in 1866 on the "
Caesar Godeffroy" which left from
Hamburg 15 October 1865 and arrived at
Moreton Bay 14 Feb 1866.
We know
Friedrich Wilhelm Hesse as William
Friedrich Hess or
Wilhelm Friedrich Hess. His fathers name is Christian
Hesse, he was a farm labourer in Germany, he did not come to Australia, but that is all I know about his father. (I would like to know more, so I can trace back further)
Friedrich & Charlotte also had children who came to Australia with them, Carl, August, Johanne, Friederike, Wilhelmine,
Friedrich &
Ernst).
Charlotte
Krull was born 21 may 1824 Herrnstien,
Prussia and died 6 Nov 1905,
Brisbane, Australia. Her parents are Christian and Wilhelmine
Krull.
Can you help me trace this back further, if not would you know someone who could?
Thank you in advance
