I am looking for any information regarding the above ancestor of mine. Johanna came to NZ in 1876 with her half brother & family, aboard the Fritz Rueter. Johanna & her family settled in Taranaki, NZ. She met her husband, Anton SZCZODROWSKI (also spelt as SCHDROSKI, SCHDROWSKI or possibly DROZDOWSKI) & they were married Sep 1876. From there Anton & Johanna emigrated to Australia settling in the Marrickville & Tingha areas. They had 7x children while in Australia. In the early 1900s Anton & Johanna emigrated back to NZ, settling in the Hawkes Bay. When they returned to NZ, 3x of their 5x sons remained in Aussie (1x son died in infancy in Aussie), assumably with their Uncle Alexander & Aunty Lucia LEIS (nee: MYSZEWSKI, Lucia was Johanna's sister). Anton died in 1923 & Johanna moved to Hamilton where she lived with her daughter, Bridget Mary (known as Mary) SCOTT. She died in Aug 1923 & is buried in Hamilton, NZ.
I am looking for any information about Johanna, her 3x sons that remained in Australia, how/why her & Anton emigrated to Australia & why they came back, etc. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Nece
