BRANDT and LANTZEN of Neubukow (Mecklenberg)
My third great grandmother, Emilie Sophia Friederike Brandt immigrated to Australian in 1855-1856 onboard the 'Helene'. It set sail from Hamburg. While onboard ship Emilie fell in love with a Swedish seaman named Sven Nilsson (Nelson). When the ship docked temporarily in Port Adelaide, the two were married and then continued their journey to Melbourne where they raised their family in the mining town of Dunolly. After Sven died in 1864 she remarried a German man named Ernst Rokahr and had three more children. According to her death certificate, Emilie was born around 1829 in Neubukow, Mecklenberg-Schwerin and was the child of "Christian Brandt" and "Maria Lantzen". I would love to find out more about her parents and her possible siblings. Any assistance would be great as my German is not terribly good and my resources are limited!
Thanks for your time
