MessageMy grandfather Ernst Benjamin Schneider was born in Tauer, Germany in 1862 and whose great uncle was Carl Teinert who had emigrated earlier to Serbin Texas. Ernst's father Andreas, my great-grandfather, decided the family would join other Wends on the Ben Nevis and after three months & 12 days of sailing they landed in Galveston in November 1869. My grandfather was seven years old at the time with a very good memory. He wrote extensively about this trip and the family's life after settling in Texas arriving first in Serbin traveling from Galveston. I was able to have this detailed history translated from German to English in 1986. It is included in the Schneider Family History book finished in 1991. Many Wendish families are mentioned in his writings.

MessageHi all,
Rather belatedly I have come upon this website and the message posted by Glenis Hickey Andersen in 2013. My Wendish ancestors also came to Australia from Werben. My great-great grandmother was Eliza Domaschenz, daughter of Christian Domaschenz. Coincidentally, one branch of her descendants, from Perth, have the surname Hickey.
Eliza married into the Kruse family, who were not Wendish, but came to Australia from a small German village called Sudfelde. In 2013 I did make a visit to Sudfelde, but have not been to Werben.

Regards,
Karen
