Hi Carol
My name is Maria Inês Terbeck, I live in Brazil, in the city of Curitiba, State of Paraná. My grandfather was Heinrich Terbeck and he was born in Germany.
I am not sure, but I met some informations about his family in
www.arquivohistoricojoinville.com.br:
He came to Brazil in 1883 with your father called Bernard Heinrich Terbeck and your mother Wilhelmine Passmann Terbeck, his brothers and sisters were:
Maria Elisabeth Terbeck ( 14 ), Franz (13),Bernhard (11), Heinrich (10), Wilhelm (8), Francisca (6), Agnes (4), Emilie (2). They arrive in 10/07/1883, in the ship called "Rio Negro".

Maria
