Hi everyone,

I'm currently researching the following family, by association...

Johann IFFLAND (b.1792 Eltville, Hessen-Nassau, Preussen) married Elizabeth GOERNER (b.1805 Erbach, , Hessen-Nassau, Preussen) about 1830 Hessen-Nassau, Preussen.

Johann & Elizabeth Iffland, along with their children, Conrad, Eva, Anna Maria & Clara, sailed to NSW, Australia aboard the 'Beulah' in 1849.

Johann IFFLAND was a cousin to Rosalia MAYER (nee SCHUMAKER).

Rosalia (c.1821) arrived in NSW with her husband Eberhardt MAYER also in 1849.

I'm trying to work out the cousin relationship between IFFLAND & SCHUMAKER.

Johann Iffland's parents were:

Nicholaus IFFLAND & Anna Catherina KIEFER/KIEFFERIN
married: 17 JUN 1771 - Katholisch, Eltville, Hessen-Nassau, Preussen.

Kind regards,
Sherrie Blackman.

Sydney, NSW, Australia.

Hello Janet

Just found your message on ancestry.com.au. Did you ever hear back from the person who posted the message about the Ifflands? If you didn't and you still want to know about the Ifflands, let me know. They were my GG Grandparents too. I went to a family reunion for descendants of the Ifflands (and several other German families) here in Sydney about 10-15 years ago. There's a lady who has done very extensive research on this and related families. All came out to Australia from Mittleheim/Eltville, Germany under a program sponsored by the German Consul in Sydney in 1840s/50s. Vinedressers, coopers, etc. Came to work in the wine sector in western Sydney, Hunter region north of Sydney, and elsewhere in NSW. Lots of documentation exists on it, as I recall.

Regards,

Mal Jones

Hi Dorothy

Season's greetings!

Not sure what information you have about the Ifflands, but I'm happy for you to look at my Ancestry.com.au page and see if it adds to whatever information you have. I'd just need your email address to send you an invitation to access my page, if that's not a problem.

Others here in Australia have probably conducted a lot more research on this particular family than I have, but I've happily borrowed from Ancestry whatever they've done and updated my page. It must be about 15 years ago that we had a largish gathering here in Sydney of Iffland descendants and related German families from that 1850s migration program.

The NZ connection is interesting. I'd be interested to know why and when Maria went there. I haven't added her to my tree, yet. If you'd like to provide some information about her on my page, please go ahead. I think you can do it under the "Comment" function.

Regards,

Mal Jones

Hi Mal,
Saw your posting re NZ connection for Iffland. I'm looking for possible photo/info of Eva Yanz who was my GG grandmother. Her daughter, Gwenda, (my grandmother) lived in Petone in Queen street. There is a photo of Clara Iffland (Eva's mother)kindly posted on Ancestry. I believe Eva died quite young. She married Owen Price Roberts, a welshman, and had two children including Gwenda and Llewellyn Alfred. The children were brought up by their Aunts Ria, Clara and Addie.
So hope anyone also redaing this can help.
Kind regards
David
