Family History Beginners Board / Re: Ruhleben Internment camp, Germany, WW1

Thank you so much for all the replies. As far as I know my George Roberts didn't have a second name.
He was on the Fleetwing but I thought he was Able Seaman. I guess that could change.
He was born in Fundenhall, Norfolk, in 1857.
Thank you for the sites you have recommended. I will look at those too.

Family History Beginners Board / Ruhleben Internment camp, Germany, WW1
« on: Thursday 27 February 25 04:19 GMT (UK)  »
I believe my Great Grandfather, George Roberts, who was a British Merchant Seaman, was arrested in Hamburg the day Britain declared war on Germany.
I am hoping to find a list of those interned and some of the history about the camp. I also think he was released before the end of the war. I would like to know why.
I know only civilians were held here and only the perimeter of the camp was guarded by Germany.
Looking forward to any help you have. Thank you.

Hi EdinKath,

Thank you for responding.
I have Henrietta and her parents arriving in New Zealand in about 1854. They were in Australia prior to this.
I have her married to Captain James McLeod in April 1857 in New Zealand.
The birth of her first child was in New Zealand in 1858.

I have them in the 1851 Scottish Census in Badnaman, Assynt, Sutherland, Scotland.

So I am now trying to find how they traveled from Scotland to St. Anns, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.

This is a new journey for me so I appreciate all the help I can get.

Many thanks. :)

Hi Shanreagh,

Thank you. Yes I have a great deal of information from there. It is a brilliant resource.

I am trying to find how and when my ancestors traveled from Scotland to Nova Scotia.

Many thanks for your help.

I am looking for information on the journey from Scotland to Cape Breton, Nova Scotia that Henrietta and her parents, Donald McLeod & Catherine Munro, made sometime in the early to mid 1800's.
I know they moved onto New Zealand in about the 1850's.
Look forward to any information you may have. :)
