I would like to know how much you would charge to investigate my great
grandfather Friedrich Heinrich Leopold Czerwonka and great, great
grandfather Friedrich Wilhelm Czerwonka. The details that I know are
outlined below. I have had considerable difficulty trying to determine how,
when and why Friedrich Heinrich left Prussia.
My great grandfather Friedrich Heinrich Leopold Czerwonka was born on 18th
September 1837 in Königsberg Prussia. However, he must have left Prussia, as
I know he married Alice Emily Brown in 1874 in Wellington, New Zealand. They
had 3 children there before moving to Sydney, Australia where they had a
further 6 children, one of whom was my grandfather, Oscar Francis Czerwonka
von Ledez.
What I am hoping you can help me with in regard to Friedrich Heinrich
Leopold Czerwonka is:
1. Did he have any siblings?
2. When did he leave Königsberg?
3. What was the name of the ship?
4. What was his destination?
I would also like to locate information regarding his father, Friedrich
Wilhelm Czerwonka, born circa 1809. I understand he also was from
Königsberg, Prussia. I would like to know when and where he was born, who he
married and when.
I look forward to your advice in the near future.
Very best wishes from

Hello Bettina
Thank you so much for the information you sent. It does confirm some of what
I have, however you have given more details. I am still having problems
finding out when and how he left Kongsberg approximately 1870. I know that
he married in New Zealand 1874.
Thank you again
Stuart
Having a quick look I see much information for Czerwonka.
Have you looked at Genealogy.netz, for example
- Birth, engagement, marriage and death notices of the respective families from Königsberg and the surrounding area.

His email address is there...GEDBAS means Familytree
Good Luck
I have also Czerwonka in my tree. But they lived near Mohrungen in East Prussia, in Horn. This need not be the same family...
