B. Going to America (Records and family books of the old Lutheran congregation of Klehnwerder, Küstrin.) From Alt-Friedland: baker Karl Friedrich Freund, Mrs. Dorothea Elis. Woicke (44) and two children: apprentice baker Karl Julius (17), Karoline Emilie (15). 1851 A. Going to Australia From Silesia, Rothenburg District in or near Weigersdorf: administrator of the old Lutheran congregation, Urban. City of Posen: river supervisor Strempel with wife, all sons and daughters, except for the son, Adolf, who emigrated with Pastor Oster in 1847, plus at least six people.

Hoffmann (31), four children: Johann August (9), Johanna Beate (7), Rosina (4), Johann Wilh. (1); plus some other families we assume are Lutheran from Chlastawe: thresher Christian Hämmerling with wife, neé Mattner; reservationist Georg Hämmerling with wife, neé Mattner; small plot farmer Joh. Georg Linke with Mrs. Dorothea Elis. Hämmerling and three children. Gross-Dammer: journeyman carpenter Johann Pilz with wife, neé Masur. B. Going to America and to New Bergholz in the State of New York from Saatzke in Pomerania: a tradesmen family of the Lutheran congregation in Saatke, consisting of father, mother and at least five children, of whom we only know two first names: August, who died on the journey and Wilhelm. The surname is unknown to us. They went to a cousin, named Krüger, in New Bergholz. We have a detailed letter from one of the five children, a daughter, dated 1852 (see section on repatriation!) 1852 Going to America - probably Texas From Rothenburg district in or near Tzschellen: military conscript Mathes Urbang. According to the records, all emigrants of this period from Rothenburg were old Lutheran, therefore we must count these first emigrants among the old Lutherans. B. Going to Australia According to the Hengstenberg newspaper, there were approximately 70 people emigrating from the Züllichau and Posen region, who were designated either old Lutheran or fanatical. Of this number we can list 15 people from theZüllichau district in or near Züllichau itself: economist Karl Wilh. Meissner [Meißner] (28); vine-grower Karl Aug. Stube with wife and one son. Schmöllen: servant Karl Kuberne (19); Martin Labsch (47) with wife; daily wage earner Wilh. Tunack (38) with wife and four children; daily wage earner Friedrich Böhm (26) with wife. From Posen we can identify with some certainty as old Lutheran from Borui: property owner Gottfried Rudolph with wife and three children. 1853 Going to Australia We cannot list the 137 emigrants of the Züllichau region because, while there were certainly Lutherans among them, we cannot distinguish who they were.

We can list with greater certainty individuals from Posen, Bomst District Borui: property owner Christian Pölchen with wife and four children; property owner Klitschke with wife and two children. Karge: daily wage earner Michael Nowak with wife and two sons. B.

Colpen: laborer Johann Kaspar with wife and four children; 1854 A. Going to Australia As was the case for the previous years, we exclude the 70 emigrants of the Züllichau District for 1854 because of the uncertainly of their status as old Lutherans, although there were many among them. From Posen the following emigrants from the district of Bomst are most likely old Lutherans Schwenten: Christian Braun with Mrs. Tietz and three children. Külpin: agronomist Gottlieb Zeppei with wife and two children. Ruden: laborer Karl Wilh. Fabiunke with wife and three children. Alt-Kramzig: Josef Eckert.
