I,m researching my Family who resided in ROSTOCK MECKLENBERG.
They are BUSING, or BUESING, GUNTHER, REHIER.
I have Birth and Marriage Records of my Ancestor, Carl Joachin George BUSING who came to NEW ZEALAND in 1872.He had a brother who went to AUSTRALIA in 1871.
Their are other members of the family that i cannot trace.
I have questions re registration of events like Birth, Marriage and deaths in ROSTOCK.
Would some kind persons be able to answer some of my queries.
When did civil registration start in Mecklenberg? Ie state records
Where are the records from that date kept?
Are they able to be viewed from a webb address.?
How does one find out what records are available?
Are there booklets or cd Roms that can be purchased showing records ?
Re Church records.
Are these available for sighting.?
How does one go about viewing these records?
Is there a webb site to view?
Any other information that could help me obtain data of persons born middle of the 1700,s onwards especially up to 1900, would be appriecated.
Thank you,
Norm,

Hi Norman ,I am in Melbourne and my family came from Schonburg near Scherwin
in the same year 1871 .I went the archives there two years ago and got all
the papers of when they left Germany it was really good .I believe all the
records for Mecklenberg are kept there .My family went to Liverpool and so
on to Melbourne ,I have been trying to find how they got to Liverpool but as
yet have had no luck,most of the people leaving Hamburg went to America
cheers

Peter,
Thanks very much.
it is very good of you to send that information to me , it helps.
I found with the family arriving in Nz from Germany to get the shipping records of arrival here and the newspaper cutting.
both told me they left Hamburg but i haven,t confirmed that from Hamburg but their has been a booklet written on the voyages of the ship freildberg.
this may help you.
the brother that went to queensland from Germany in 1871 a year earlier sailed on the same ship.
I bet they thought they were going to the same place.
More than likely never contacted each other.
I will follow up your suggestions and see what i can find
I can,t find out what happened to brothers and sisters, they don,t appear on the 1867 census.
Best wishes, Norm
my lot came on the Great Britian which was a well know ship.I was under the
inpression that no ships went directly from Germany to Australia /NZ.Its
interesting on the forms I got from Scherwin the family had to denounce
thier German citizenship and leave in 3 days

Hi Norman,
at GER we are looking for ancestory from granddukedoms part
Mecklenburg-Schwerin (not from Mecklenburg-Strelitz) at census lists from
1819, 1867, 1890 (not all areas) and 1900 (www.ancestry.de). They tells
about each people, but about families only when i.e. childs are living at
household of their father or mother.
Only the 1819th census at Rostock ist edited by Matthias MANKE (ISBN
3-937179-86-0).
We also have some parish records abour the same area from 1704 and 1756.
This both and surename-registers about the 1819th census are edited by Franz
Schubert. He also edited all entries of marriage in mecklenburg churchbooks.
The edition beginns at early times and end for most of the parishes in 1800,
for some parishes at the east of Mecklenburg-Schwerin in 1825, only for the
eastly area of Mecklenburg-Strelitz (= Land Stargard) in 1876.
Most of the records today are at Landeshauptarchiv Schwerin, the curch
records at Landeskirchliches Archivs Schwerin. Both adresses you will find
at the web.
Eaven it would be helpfull to know whitch town or villages your's family
came from.
Regards from Mecklenburg
