moogirl on 2007-08-30 22:22:56Hi
great info. My g. grandmother is cecilia johanna maurer( married herman voss). I had been able to trace back to Quetscher but was unsure due to different names whether i was on the right track. I am still trying to get my head around german names and the constant variations. I can dig around now.
Cheers
Karen
quirk_cantwell on 2007-08-31 03:08:54Hi Karen,
Anton Quetscher apparently dropped the S when he came to Australia in 1850. Other spellings are Quetcher, Quatcher and even Quilcher.
Cheers

allycat on 2007-09-01 09:42:49Dear Shauna and Karen, A fellow named Darren Graham who has his tree online at GenesReunited (like myself) is a grandson of Catherine Maurer 1883~1950 and George Wilberforce Graham. If you goto the website, try searching for Catherine Maurer with tree owner Graham and you may find him. It is a userpay website, membership costs $19.95/annum.
Alison.
quirk_cantwell on 2007-09-02 01:16:07Hi Alison,
My brother has been in contact with Darren. The cost of genesreunited appears to be $20 for 6 mths not a year. When my brother returns from overseas we might join together that way we can share ideas.
Cheers

BenjaminNaylor on 2008-11-26 00:37:07Thank you for informing me and my family of a branch of our ancestors that we knew very little about!
BenjaminNaylor on 2008-11-26 00:50:48* branch of our family tree. (Edit)
I'm a descendant of John Thomas Augustus Maurer & Olive Alice Newman. We had no information about any ancestors higher up on the tree than them, as far as I know. This is the first time I have seen the name Quetscher... could I be directed to more specific and clearer information about what is known of that side?
quirk_cantwell on 2008-11-26 02:58:52Hello distant cousin Benjamin,
Glad you found the info useful. I will send you a Pm with a little more info on the Quetschers
Cheers

Istarra on 2009-12-29 12:38:29Possible USA relation.
While searching older generation family names, I happened across your website. I found an amazing coincidence among the names John, Alexander, Augustus, Charles and possible memory of a Magdalena mentioned, I could not but wonder if I am descended from a branch of this family line.
I am not very familiar with Germany, however, My Great-grandparents, a John Maurer and wife Wilhelmina came from Germany to the United States circa 1920 (to the best of my knowledge)or a bit earlier. They had 18 children with 13 survivors around the time of the Depression. From NYC they migrated to upstate New York. My Grandfather was Charles Augustus, my father Charles Alexander.
The family names are amazingly similar to the names of many of your pro-genators.
If we are related...then hello cousin :). If you have any insight into our possible relationship, I would love to know more.
Yours, Anne
quirk_cantwell on 2009-12-29 14:34:13Hello Anne,
I would like to say that we could be related but the chances are pretty slim. Apparently Maurer is quite a common name in Germany and you would really need to know the villege where they came from to have any chance of tracking them.All my Maurers who came to Australia in 1853 stayed in Australia. If I do happen to find any other info I will let you know.
Good luck with your research. Sorry I can not be more helpful
Cheers

Serena76 on 2010-01-02 22:00:12Hi there guys,
We are related. Woooohoooo So cool.
We were kindly given copies of the marriage of my 5x Great Grandparents Johann Philipp Maurer and Susanna Heiduk and 3 birth certifates of their children (2,6,& 7).
My Family is decended though my 4x Great Grandparents, Katherina Carolina 22/5/1834 Sulzbach Nassau, Germany and Phillip Wode.
I also have on the other side of my family German ancestors. My cousin has just visited us again from Germany for christmas this year. I am going to ask them to see if they can find any more info and help with translations.
Would be interested in exchanging any avaliable documentation of the family. We believe the more information shared the less likely it is to be lost forever.
Forever Family,
Serena and Pam (my mum)
quirk_cantwell on 2010-01-03 12:57:47Hello Serena and Pam,
I am happy to share what I have on the Maurer family and I will send you a Pm so we can exchange emails
cheers
