Paul John Drechsler 82 Heytesbury Road Subiaco,WA 6008 +618-9382-3432 | Researching the Drechsler family, who emigrated from Lerbach in Saxony, to Adelaide, South Australia in 1849.I am particularly interested in the European roots of the family, who mainly came from the Harz Region.Whilst I have a considerable amount of information on this branch of my family post-immigration, I am finding it fairly difficult to get information pre-1800. Lerbach is a small village near Osterode south of Hanover. The family was part of a major emigration to Australia of German speaking people in the mid-1800s.There are few Drechsler families in Australia, and from what I have ascertained, most people have a common ancestor - Johann Heinrich August Friedrich Drechsler, who was born in Lerbach on 2 November 1804. I am interested in hearing from researchers who are interested in this part of Germany during the first half of the nineteenth century, and particularly those who have a connection with the surnames listed below. Key surnames: Drechsler, Sauerbrey, Rosenberg, and Fuchs. |
