Leismann Family

[jenlee86]

This topic is pretty much complete except I got one more question. I met a person on here a while back that was related to the Leismann Family from Denmark. I have searched as many different things on here that I could think of to find this person. Does anyone know who I'm talking about. If you do can you let them know I'd like to chat to them.


I am in desperate need of help. I cannot trace the Leismann Family of New Zealand. I have searched New Zealand's BDM and have come up a blank.
I have managed to trace the leismann family back to:

Jacob Peter Frederik Leismann b. c1889 Place: Unknown d. 1957 Place: NZ BDM has a record for him so I'd say NZ.
Jacob married Hetty Elizabeth Edwards b. c1895 Place: Unknown d. 1969 Place: Most probably New Zealand as they have a record for her.

Jacob & Hetty had 2 sons:

Cyril Frederik Leismann (my Grandfather) b. 6 Sept 1922 Place: Whangerei, New Zealand d. 4 Nov 1990 Place: New Zealand     I have all the details from Cyril down the line.

Frederik Peter Leismann b. 14 Aug 1927 Place: Unknown d. 1993 Place: Unknown
Frederik married Shirley Jean Unknown.
They had 1 daughter that I definitely know about, but there have been rumors of at least 14 children.

I have been told that the Leismann Family traces back to Denmark but I don't have enough information to begin looking there as I have no idea which person immigrated to New Zealand. I spoke to a Lady who has done a ton of research on the Denmark Leismann Family but she can't help me until I can find the relative who first came to New Zealand.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated as I've hit a brick wall.

Thanks in advance guys.

Hi there,
Lets start with Jacob Peter Frederick Leismann who as born in Denmark Fredrikshaven 11.7.1889 and was naturalised in 17.8.1938 at Whangarei New Zealand.File 115/387 cert85 page 367.
In 1938 he is on the electoral roll for Marsden, Northland 47 Walton St and is a sail maker.
In 1946 him and Ethel Elizabeth May.
By 1954 at the same address are Ethel Elizabeth May and Frederick Peter sheet metal worker.
So it looks like JPF Leismann is the first  person in New Zealand and he was there by 1922 when Cyril Frederik was born at Whangarei.
I can't find a birth but then I'm not up on Danish records.There is a possible sister Fritze Marion Caroline Leismann born in Frederickshaven 9.1.1885 to Frederick Christian Leismann and Ingeborg Anna Dorothea Sorenson
Fredrick Peter married a Shirley Joan between 1963 (when he was living at home)and 1969 5 Hinemoa St ,Onerahi ,water side worker.At the same address in 1978 is a Peter M.Leismann.Perhaps his son.
Hope that helps at least a little.

Ps if you google JPF Leismann  there is a family tree in Danish which comes up at home1.stofanet.dk/leismann/d1.html  under Efterkommere.His father is no 52 Frederick Christian Leismann in the 5th generation.
