Burgemeister Family in Australia

Johann Gottlob Burgemeister, born 1801 in Gersdorf, near Crossen of the River Oder, Brandenburg, Prussia, left with his wife Dorothea Elisabeth Geister, born Gersdorf, 1816, and their 6 children, Dorothea Elisabeth, 14yrs, Wilhelm 9years, Wilhelmine, 8years, Anna Elisabeth,6years, Gottlieb 4years, and Anna Dorothea, 2years to migrate to Australia. They Departed from Hamburg on the "Emmy" on the 5 September 1849 and arrived in South Australia on the 16 January, 1850. His wife Dorothea Elizabeth, died on the voyage. Gottlog and his children settled in the Barossa Valley of South Australia. On the 2 September 1852 Gottlob married a widopw, Maria Elisabeth Marschner, nee Frankewho had also travelled to South Australia, with her husband and 5 daughters on the "Emmy". There were a further three children from the Marriage of Gottlob and Maria. Carl Hermann Burgemeister, born 1853, Johann August, Burgemeister born 1855 and Gustav Heinrich Burgemeister born 1857. There are now approx. 4000 of gott5lob's descerndants livingin various parts of Australia. I feel sure Gottlob would have had sibblings who either remained inEurope or migrated to other parts of the worldand I would like to make contact with any of their descendants.
