herrnann gerdes osternburg b 1834
Have just begun researching the Gerdes family tree and have so far traced our history back to Germany from Australia.
I have traced our line back to Herrmann Gerhard Anton Gerdes, who was born in Osternburg, Oldenburg on 29 March 1834. He was Christened on the 1 June 1834.
His parents were Anton Gunther Gerdes (worked at Berne) and Helene Ziesen.
Godparents were Johann Herman Ahlers and Gerhard Albert Gerdes.
I am unable to discover anything new. Would you be able to assist with further names down this line, or be able to direct me to some good texts?
I would appreciate any information and would be happy to send what I have on this line re: the Australian side!
