i have posted all over ancestry and genforum, and so far no one has been able to help me.
i have a johann sigismond dittmann and sophia elizabth luker in my tree, they married in posen, which is now poznan, poland, in 1848.
they emmigrated to victoria in 1850, after the birth of emil (james).
they had the rest of the family in vctoria.
once they were here, he called himself john dettmann.
on australian certificates of birth, details of the parents births and marriage are included. john said he was born in posen, about 1821. sophia said she was born in berlin about 1826. her surname is spelled differently on every certificate, mostly, lucas.
he died in may 1895, and her in 1888, both in kyneton.
there is a record on the igi, but it is submitted by a mormon. but it does have the same death date and has both names he bore.
the parents according to the igi were christian sigismond dittmann, and johanna elisabeth schultz.
i cant find a record of them at all in europe. not even they're departure on the wappaus.
can anyone help?
