Dear readers, I've been researching my VOSS ancestors since the 1980s and one of the reasons they have been so difficult to research is the frequency of Surname changes such as in the spelling. This also includes changes of their Christian name/s upon registration of births, deaths and marriages, and also the possibility of Anglicization of their German names upon entry to Australia.

Another thing to 'throw a spanner in the works' so to speak is the fact that a lot of the children were given Saint's names for the fist name, and were known by their middle name!

hi there I see you have an emily Horwell in your tree. Have you any information on this lady. I am looking for a Emily Horwell that was born in Ilsington, Devon, England in the 3rd quarter of 1881. She was married to a Sydney Grose but I have not been able to find her since 1891 census so I wondered if she left her husband or he died and she emigrated. Can you help at all. If I have the wrong Emily can you tell me anything about your emily. My email is horwell@thelazyfish.co.nz

Hope to hear from you soon

Roy Horwell. New Zealand

Hi there, I am related to a Eric Voss who married my Aunty Leila Mary Adermann, (B. 1924) her parents were Frederick Adermann & Mary Elizabeth (Domrow) I don't know too much but here's just a snippet. Eric & Leila had four kids Judith, Desmond, Glen, & Robyn they lived in Bald Hills Brisbane.
Charles & Elizabeth married 8-11-1906 her B. 30-11-1882 D. 20-5-1980
In one section of 'family notes' I have a brief mention of Charlie & Elizabeth (Lizzy) it says, " Elizabeth was born in Vernor QLD. The family moved from Vernor in about March 1908 to Wooroolin near Kingaroy. Later two carpenters were hired to build the family house, they built a room made of iron on the side of the barn for Charlie & Lizzy since they had just moved from Marburg". end. note Lizzy was my Grandfather's sister.
Hope this morsel helps, I'm doing my family tree too, Adermann, Domrow, Berlin, Strassburg, Litzow & on & on!!!! not easy I know all the best with your research, i'll keep my eye out for you, Margy (nee Adermann )

I am doing a little research and wondering if anyone has any information on my great great grandmother. All I know about her is that her name is Mary Voss. She married Heinrich Gaerke (Diederich G?rke) . Heinrich Gaerke immigrated to the US in the 1830's from from Germany (Prussia) or what is now Hanover or Regierungsbezirk Osnabrck, which consists of the western
half of Hannover (D?then). He settled in Mercer County Ohio in
The Stallotown or New M?nster described below referers to modern day Minster, Ohio, and perhaps New Bremen. They had seven children. Henry F Gaerke is the son of Heinrich and Mary (Voss) Gaerke, who is my great grandfather. I have six siblings listed for Henry. They are: Rose (Henry) Knoth, Agnes (Christopher) Knoth, Herman (Mary 'Margaret'/Margaret) Gaerke, Josephine (Charles) Golden, Mary (Isadore) Gruss, and Elizabeth Gaerke.
Thank -you, Leo Gaerke

G'day allycat

In your journal posting you've got:

Francis Henry Vivian VOSS & Charlotte (aka Lottie) Kerrod WHITE
1890 Dorothy Muriel VOSS
1891 Vivienne Charlotte VOSS
1892 Paul Ernest VOSS
1894 Kerrod Bromley VOSS
1902 Florence Mary VOSS

{NB: Marriage found 1888 QLD Francis Henry Vivian VOSS & Lottie Kerrod WHITE.}

I'm chasing the Whites side of things here, I know 4 of the 5 became Doctors, & the Voss name is well recognised in the Rockhampton area.

Did these Dorothy, Vivienne, Paul, Kerrod & Florence produce any children? or what can you tell me?

Thank you
Loopy67

Cannot provide any further information other than what is provided. In addition these people you seek may be living. Have you tried the phone book?

by Ldbenney on 2011-04-14 21:47:33

You mention - Wilhemina Ernestine VOSS, who is my GGrandmother (she married Charles (Karl) F Walter. Their daughter Amelia Anna Louise WALTER was my Grandmother) and Friederich Christian Martin VOSS, who is my GGranduncle. Many others listed are also related. I would be interested in exchanging information with you or anyone else with this same lineage. As you mention here, this is a VERY difficult family to research. I can be contacted via email at Ldbenney@aol.com

Hi,
I have a connection with a Frederick William Voss that was born in Hazeldean. I am not sure what year but I know he was around the Kilcoy area around 1930 and knew a Lily Lake (Jeckells). I would be most grateful if you could advise if you had any connection to this family.

I have an old photo of the Devoss family standing on the verandah of my now house in Ashgrove Brisbane. The house has a plaque saying 1890 & apparently Mr Devoss owned most of Ashgrove Avenue and he managed or owned the xxxx Brewery. I just want to find out who they were and if any of the relations would like a copy of the photograph.

hi my Aunty is a relative of sissy usher who married Frederick Leonard Voss and I was wondering if I can get some more information about them. Been google searching them on the internet but I’m not finding much information about them. I’m also trying to track down any photos of sissy usher and Frederick Leonard Voss. Thank you Emma
