Looking for information on the family of Matthias KRUGER of Laubsdorf, Cottbus, Brandenburg, Prussia and his wife Christiana, nee WELSCHINA. Their children Maria, Christiane, Johanna, Christian, Elizabeth, Caroline and Johann were born in Laubsdorf also. The family sailed for Adelaide, Australia on 23 Oct 1850 aboard the ship "Dockenhuden," (master named Myer). Matthias' brother Johann Carl August KRUGER, born about 1802 in Cottbus, also emigrated to Australia, in 1848.
I would especially like to make contact with family members in Germany.
