New Zealand Completed Requests / Re: The Schauer family's Migration to New Zealand
« on: Tuesday 19 November 19 21:49 GMT (UK) »
Hello Seany,
Trying to work out how to work this system and reply to a personal message...! I think I am not allowed to respond to personal messages until I have posted at least three times..?
Anyway me and my cousins are very amazed and excited about finding other Schauer descendants out there. My mother too.. she couldn't sleep when I told her that there was a Schauer descendant looking for her & her sisters!.. She doesn't really remember Charlie Shaw as he became known, but has all sorts of stories about the family.. She knows that Carl came to NZ for a gold mining job in Greymouth or Westport. She has a photo of herself as a baby (92 years ago!) being held by Carl. She has always thought that the Schauer family came from Baden-Württemberg area in South West Germany near the Rhine... Mum also said that she tried to look for related Schauers in Melbourne when she was there... found a lot in the phone book, but never in person..
My self and my cousins have been collecting family facts, photos and stories for some years and are looking forwards to sharing them. I will get my other roots interested cousins (Also great grandsons of Carl Schauer) to sign up here, so that we can all share details...
