Merville Hugh Wishnowsky, Julius Wilhelm Wishnowsky
trinity50
Hi my name is Esmeralda and I am the daughter of the late John Wishnowsky. My father and mother never married and departed ways before I was borm in 1974. Since his death years ago have been interested in piecing the family history. I have the name Merville Hugh Wishnowsky which was his father and a name Julius Wilhelm Wishnowsky, unsure of who that is. I am very interested in knowing any information that I can read to find out about my ancestory. I have googled a lot of names but am very unsure and confused to who is whom to me. I was once in contact with Johns two sons from his previous marriage Chris and Leigh but have no contact with them for years now as they did share some knowledge of where we originally came from. It would be great to have any information. Thank you

Julius Wilhelm 'Bill' Wishnowsky was Merville's brother. They were 2 of at least 13 children of Carl Wischnowsky (1855-1948) & Wilhelmina Boyke ...
1878 - 1929 Otto Henry Emil Wishnowsky
1879 - 1956 Edith Matha Wishnowsky
1880 - Ida Wishnowsky
1882 - 1969 Julius Wilhelm Wishnowsky
1885 - 1973 Emma Helen Elizabeth Wishnowsky
1887 - 1976 Carl Ernest 'Charles' Wishnowsky
1890 - 1974 - Helene Emilie Matilda 'Eleanor' Wishnowsky
* Eleanor married into the Brabant Family
1891 - 1978 Hugo Henry Herman Wishnowsky
1893 - 1974 Arthur Walter Wishnowsky
1895 - 1976 Meta Minnie Louisa Wishnowky
1899 - Edward Berthold Wishnowsky
1901 - Rubena Mabel 'Ruby' Wishnowsky
1907 - 1956 Merville Hugh Wishnowsky
* There are gaps in those birth dates and there may be other children. There were variants of spelling, Wishnowski, Wischnowsky and yet another, is von Wischnowsky, so research is a little trickier
They seemed to settle mostly in the North Island - Taranaki, Manawatu & the Waikato
trinity50 on 2018-02-06 07:42:45wow! thank you, I had no idea there were that many! That helps me a lot. I will continue to search to see if I can find out the children of these ancestors and the rest of Mervilles siblings. I know my grandfather Merville died in 1956 when my father was about 8 years old. I have met a couple of my aunties at Johns funeral but have no idea of their last names and where they reside now.
